The Bayelsa state government says the ongoing fight against payroll fraud, age falsification and fake certificates in the state public service was not meant to witch-hunt anybody, but to install sanity into the system and create room for unemployed youths.

This was disclosed by the state governor, Seriake Dickson while briefing newsmen at the government house in Yenagoa, on the gains of the state monthly transparency briefing.

Speaking at the briefing, governor Dickson who was represented by the deputy governor, Rear Admiral John Jonah retired, promised to sack erring public servants.
