Input is sought by 9 July 2023 on a draft Public Service Commission Administration Bill intended to:
- strengthen the Commission’s independence as a constitutional institution, and
- expand its mandate to include local government and state entities.
Among other things, this is expected to respond to an undertaking made by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his 2023/24 State of the Nation Address (SONA) regarding:
- improved basic service delivery, and
- a professionalised public service.
Once enacted and operationalised, the proposed new piece of legislation will repeal the Public Service Commission Act, 1997.
