I don’t think you have addressed the issue at hand, gentlemen. The issue is not about the two OMN employees who have left. It would not make any difference whether they left the organization of their own free will or dismissed, since the organization has the right to hire and fire people like any other organization. If those dismissed believe that they have been wrongfully dismissed, they have the right to sue the organization. The issue is an alleged discrimination toward a job applicant. The individual claims that an OMN recruiter (whom she named) asked her if she was willing to remove her religious head cover and she responded negatively. She believes that she did not get the job because of her head cover. This is the ISSUE you need to address. This is a very serious allegation that should not simply be ignored because discrimination is what we as Oromos have faced and been fighting against. And it is the very issue that necessitated a medium of our own. Besides, discrimination based on the protected grounds is illegal in the U.S of A. That is one reason that you need to address the issue in a manner that is complete, transparent, and with the view of solving the problem. The other reason is that since you have alluded to the fact that those individuals who left the organization created the rumour to retaliate, it is to your own advantage that you resolve the issue instead of beating around the bushes. If this is not done, the consequence will be grave. I, for one, as a paying member will consider withholding my donations until this issue is fully addressed and completely resolved.
