The Auditor General has declared seven recruitments at the University of Engineering and Technology (UET) as illegal and ordered the relevant authorities to terminate the services of these employees and recover the wages paid to them.
It must be mentioned here that the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACE) has already started an investigation into the matter. ACE authorities have written to the UET Vice-Chancellor to appoint a focal person to compile a case record.
