Sabiiti said that persons seeking employment should present valid documents including National IDs .
Interacting with management, Sabiiti said, "I advise you to relocate the CCTV cameras control center because this place is so open that's why the thugs broke into it and also ran away with microchip that stored the footage," he said.
