    "content": "The Bill recognises the need for structured succession planning in Government institutions. Appointing authority through prudent human resource management strategies will provide a pathway in management of human capital and reduce the recycling of officers upon attainment of the retirement age. The Public Service Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2019 is built on a case reference from the High Court where it suspended the circular on the removal of the age limit of head of parastatals. The Head of Public Service Commission (PSC), through the circular titled: “Term of Service for State Corporation Chief Executive Officers”, instructed boards of management and parastatals on the decision to remove the term limits of parastatal heads or chiefs. With this circular in mind, a corporation head can be reappointed as many times as the appointing authority deems it fit. The possibility of working beyond the mandatory retirement age of 60 years is eminent, noting that such positions attract relatively old officers by virtue of qualification and experience, which is required in the appointment."
