I beg to move that the Public Service Commission (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.6 of 2023), be now read a Second Time. Before setting out the specific provisions of this Bill, it is necessary for us to understand the motivation behind this legislation. The Public Service is established under Chapter 13 whereas the Public Service Commission is anchored in Article 233 of the Constitution. The values and principles of the service form the benchmark for the development of legislation that will guarantee high standards and professionalism, and efficient, effective and economic use of resources in service delivery to citizens. With that understanding, the provisions of Article 10 remain the hallmark of values and principles that will guide the governance structure in the country. The Public Service Commission Act 2017 embodies the implementation of those fundamental values in the service. The Public Service Commission (Amendment) Bill of 2023 seeks to amend the Public Service Commission Act 2017 to prescribe a mandatory retirement age of 60 years.
