    "content": "The functions of appointing, confirming, and transferring public officers are also vested in the PSC. Today, you will find ECMs and most of them are my colleagues, having many advisors. They have advisors on, say, gender and so on yet in the same Ministry you have members of a serious technical team who have worked in that Ministry for many years. However, because an ECM wants to create a job for a friend, he will appoint another person to be an advisor on contract when he can get the same technical advice from a member of that Ministry. So, the Bill is dealing with that. The development of human resource in the public service is well captured in this Bill. It highlights the Commission’s functions relating to how it investigates, monitors and evaluates other organizations. The administration of personnel practices of the public service borrowed from the best practices globally is also well documented in this Bill. Finally, this Bill is dealing with public service delivery. Do we have value for the public servants working in our nation? What is the percentage of service delivery? Do we have ghost workers? We are looking at the public service’s efficiency and effectiveness in every department. That is why we have performance contracting in Government. So, they will deal with efficiency and effectiveness, including assurance of sound financial management; internal organisation processes in public service and human resource needs. Above all, the question to ask is: Are citizens happy with the way the public service of our country is delivering service to the people? I am happy the Vice-Chair and all the other colleagues have done very well. I am sure it is a very important piece of legislation. As usual, we are hardly 10 in here, but I am sure we will go on. I know more Members are coming. I will go out and whip them. I beg to support. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
