The Parliamentary Committee on Institutions, Values and Governance Commissioner met today, Wednesday, 2 March 2022, and discussed the following issues:
1. The Candidates for Appointment to the Public Service (Amendment) (No. 3) Act, 2021
(Bill proposed by Mr. Dimitrios Demetriou on behalf of the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Rally)
(File No. 23.02.062.155-2021)
The Committee, in the presence of representatives of the relevant government departments and stakeholders, continued the discussion of the above proposal for a law, the purpose of which is to apply a similar recruitment procedure for entry-level positions in the civil service whose salary scale does not exceed A9 and A11 of the government salary scale to those applicable to entry-level positions in the civil service whose salary scale does not exceed A8. The Committee decided to continue discussion of this matter at a later stage.
2. The Controlling the Taking of Employment in the Private Sector by Former Government Officials and Certain Former Employees of the Public Sector and the Public Sector at Large (Amendment) Act, 2022
(No. Fak. 23.01.063.024-2022)
The Committee, in the presence of representatives of the relevant government departments, continued discussion of the above bill, the purpose of which is to amend the basic law to broaden its scope by including in the definition of the term "public and wider public sector employee" members of the Police. The amendment expands the number of vetted government officials who will be required to obtain a licence before taking up employment in the private sector, a measure which may act as a deterrent to corruption and corruption. While the proposed legislation restricts the free exercise of profession by the affected members of the Police, it is considered to fall within the limits of proportionality as it aims to protect the public interest. The Commission suggested that consideration be given to the possibility of extending the scope of application to additional officials other than members of the police. The Commission decided to continue the discussion on this issue at its next meeting.
