    "content": "To ensure that there is no tribalism and nepotism in employment, the Government, through the Public Service Commission, takes into account equity, equality and diversity in recruitment and appointments as a way of promoting national cohesion and development. Equity in employment entails regional balancing in recruitment in addition to mainstreaming issues and concerns of gender and people with disabilities in employment. The Public Service Commission makes a deliberate effort to include persons from all districts in recruitment by: (i) ensuring that existing vacancies are advertised in the daily print media and in the Commission’s websites; (ii) making deliberate efforts to include persons from all districts in short listing and appointments especially at entry levels; (iii) names of shortlisted and appointed candidates are advertised in the media and the Commission’s website; (iv) publishing quarterly reports in the media on those who have been appointed or promoted within the Ministries; and, (v) upholding the 30 per cent Government policy on appointment of women without compromising merit. The Government has developed a policy on district based recruitment for lower cadres of Job Groups “A” to “F”. The policy provides for: (i) open advertisements of lower cadre vacancies at district levels; (ii) Recruitment and selection of candidates through a committee chaired by the District Commissioner; and, (iii) selection of successful candidates on the basis of fair and equitable representation from the divisions, locations and ethnic groups in the district."
