Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A federal protester from the Oct. 2013 government shutdown.
President-elect Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress have sent ripples of uncertainty through the civil service with calls to “drain the swamp” and shake up Washington bureaucracy. With job protections and benefits potentially under threat, federal agencies are scrambling to secure new hires, while some long-time civil servants are weighing whether to stay under an administration that seems hostile to their mission. Kojo gets the latest on what’s happening inside federal agencies as inauguration day approaches, and explores how the transition is affecting morale among federal workers in our region.
