The abolition of the incompatibility of the status of MP with that of civil servant would go against the constitutional principle of the separation of the administrative function of the state from political power and would be an unprecedented undermining of the effort to combat the phenomena of complicity and corruption, the Audit Service said in a statement.
It expresses great surprise as it was informed today by the media about the intention in principle of the Parliamentary Institutions Committee to promote an amendment to Article 70 of the Constitution, which would allow a public servant to be elected as a Member of Parliament without having to resign from his position, which would wait until he completes his parliamentary term to be able to return to it.
