Representations
may be made by applicants/candidates to the Commission in
respect of a selection process which is still in progress
.
Representations may be made (in writing) addressed to the
Secretary of the Commission, on such issues as eligibility
or non-eligibility of candidates, interpretation of eligibility
clauses in the call for applications and equivalence of qualifications.
Persons making such representations are to explain clearly
the grounds for their representations and submit such supportive
documentation as may be necessary for the Commission to consider
their claim or complaint.
Petitions
After the result of a particular selection process has been
published and an appointment made, the Commission will not
entertain any representations from applicants/candidates but
a petition may be made to the Prime Minister in terms of Section
1.1.10 of the Public Service Management Code which is reproduced hereunder:
1.1.10 Petitions Relating to Appointments
and Promotions.
1.1.10 The following is the procedure for dealing with
petitions relating to appointments or promotions in the Public
Service which should be observed by heads of department and
other officers whose duty it is to advise the Prime Minister
on such petitions:
- If the petitioner is a serving officer,
his petition is to be made through his head of department
, who will transmit it to the Prime Minister through the
usual channels with his comments.
- If the appointment has been approved
by the Prime Minister on the recommendation of the Commission,
the Prime Minister, in his discretion, may refer the petition
to the Commission for advice. If the appointment has been
made by the head of department under authority delegated
to him, the petition will be dealt with on the Prime Minister's
direction, unless the Prime Minister thinks fit to refer
it to the Commission for advice.
- If the petitioner is not a serving
officer, the petition is to be addressed to the Commission,
where the appointment has been made by the Commission or
to the head of department, where it has been made under
authority delegated to him.
- If a request is made under (b) or
(c) for an interview with the Commission, the grounds for
the request should be stated for the consideration of the
Commission.
