Organic Law on Provincial Governments and Local-Level Governments

Amendments to constitution and organic law concern Commission

“In 2014, the Minister for Public Service, Sir Puka Temu, got Parliament to pass amendments to sections 193 and 208B of the National Constitution, Section 73 of the Organic Law on Provincial Governments and Local-Level Governments and the Public Service (Management) Act 2014, which repealed the Public Service (Management) Act 1995,” Dr Kereme says in a statement.

These amendments effectively remove the powers and functions of the Commission to conduct merit-based assessment on candidates for appointment of heads of government agencies, states the PSC chairman.
