The Public Service Commission (the PSC) is a constitutional body authorised under article 200 of the Constitution of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana to make appointments to public offices and to remove and exercise disciplinary control over persons holding or acting in such offices.
The PSC hereby addresses the inaccuracies and misleading information presented in an article published in the Kaieteur Newspaper on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, titled ‘Public Service Commission in place but officials still acting- MPs’. Firstly, the PSC unequivocally asserts that it was never informed of any existing vacancies in Region 2. This is despite the fact that a memorandum dated September 19, 2023, had urged the Regional Executive Officer to provide this information. Secondly, contrary to claims made in the Article, there is no law regulating the operations of the PSC requiring it to make acting appointments for a limited period of four months.
This restriction, to which the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chairman referred, only applies to a delegate to whom the PSC has delegated the power to make such an appointment. Thirdly, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chairman should have sought an answer from the Regional Executives as to why those persons have been acting for the stated period.
The PSC maintains that since its appointment in July 2023, it has been working assiduously to fill all known vacancies within the Public Service, and had substantively appointed qualified persons who have been acting in positions within the Public Service.
Finally, the PSC awaits notification of a list of existing vacancies in all sectors of the Public Service that it is authorised to fill, and on such notification all vacancies will be advertised via its website.
Regards,
Public Service Commission
