In another communication released at 18:07 UTC the same day, MAGA Guatemala addressed concerns about hiring fraud within their institution. The tweet stated: "Si le piden dinero por una plaza, le están engañando. El proceso de contratación es gratuito y transparente.
Ingrese a nuestra página web https://t.co/CKNpWCmTNl , donde encontrará el botón “Yo denuncio”, en el cual con un solo click le desplegará el respectivo formulario https://t.co/8iayJ0tHza". The message emphasizes that all recruitment processes are free and transparent and provides guidance for reporting any suspected fraud through their official website.
The Ministry of Agriculture has previously promoted transparency in hiring procedures as part of ongoing efforts to reduce corruption within government institutions. In addition to supporting small-scale farmers with technical assistance programs throughout regions like Chiquimula and Sololá, the ministry regularly organizes events such as certification congresses to foster knowledge sharing among agricultural professionals.
