Ricardo Couto exonera quase 4 mil comissionados em três meses no Rio de Janeiro | Conexão

Judge Ricardo Couto has already dismissed nearly four thousand employees in appointed positions in the Rio de Janeiro government. The interim governor has made changes in 20 secretariats, and these moves are expected to generate savings of R$ 230 million per year for the state's public coffers. The changes in leadership and staff affected strategic secretariats such as the Civil House, Government, Planning, and Health. Civil servants who passed competitive exams were prioritized. In addition, Ricardo Couto has made progress in planning for Rio de Janeiro to begin paying off its debt to the federal government. The state is the second most indebted in the country, behind only São Paulo. Oil royalties have also been included in the interim government's planning, as well as an audit of existing contracts. The Supreme Federal Court (STF) is judging how a new head of government for the state will be chosen. ➡️ Subscribe to our channel and activate the bell 🔔 to stay updated on everything that's happening: http://glo.bo/4lQEsCL #globonews #globonewsaovivo #news #ConexãoGloboNews #RiodeJaneiro #stategovernment #STF #RicardoCouto
