Speaking in an interview on April 6, 2026, he acknowledged the government’s intention to recruit unemployed nurses but faulted the lack of specificity regarding which year groups are eligible. According to him, previous recruitment exercises were more structured, with clear communication on which batch of nurses was being considered. “This is not going to help the government, it is not going to help the nurses and it is not going to help the party…If we are going to recruit nurses, we should make public the year group that is going to be recruited,” he stated. He noted that currently, multiple batches ranging from 2021 to 2025 remain unemployed, making an open application system problematic. As a solution, Akugri proposed a fully online, transparent recruitment system managed through a central portal.
