I like to work in this kind of organisation, but when read about their requirements such as one should have experience of working with the government a number of years, it discourages me. Does it mean only those that have opportunity to work with the government can perform? where we have competent hands that doesnt have employment opportunity with the government. I think we should understand the fact that majority working the government presently are “political employment opportunist”
