The Public Service Commission has asked Thulas Nxesi’s office for employment details
The Public Service Commission is to investigate more than 2,000 senior government officials to verify their qualifications, it said on Monday.
In a letter to Gondwe dated October 6, chair Somadoda Fikeni said the PSC had started the investigation and that on September 15 it had written to acting public service & administration minister Thulas Nxesi’s office for particulars “pertaining to the allegation of the 2,349 public servants that do not have the qualifications for the positions they hold”.
“It is important to reiterate that the matter of the senior managers’ or other employees’ qualifications be understood within the broader context of the professionalisation of the public service efforts under way,” he said. According to Persal information, 1,819 senior managers who do not meet the required qualifications were appointed before the implementation of the regulations, Nxesi replied. “Through [a] circular, departments have been instructed to update information on Persal, including the remainder of the 593 cases,” he added.
