Question NW1517 to the Minister in the Presidency
16 August 2023 - NW1517
Gondwe, Dr M to ask the Minister in the Presidency
With reference to the Public Service Commission Amendment Bill [B 21D of 2015], about which the Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration was recently informed by the Public Service Commission that the Bill is currently sitting with the Office of the President, on what date will the Bill be brought before Parliament?
Reply:
The Public Service Commission Amendment Bill [B 21D of 2015], has already been assented to by the President on 19 September 2019. The Bill was published in government gazette No. 42742 of 03 October 2019 as Act No. 10 of 2019.
The Department of Public Service and Administration is however currently processing another amendment to the Public Service Commission Act, the amendment was approved by Cabinet and published, by the Minister of Public Service and Administration, for public comments in the government gazette of 9 June 2023. The Minister of Public Service and Administration is the relevant Cabinet Minister responsible for the processing of the Bill to Parliament, as such it will be difficult for me to give an answer as to on what date the Bill will brought before Parliament.
