As controversy over Constitutional Council continues, recruitment in state agencies is hit

Office bearers of Public Service Commission retired last week. With the ordinance on Council challenged in court and bill stuck in House, new appointments can’t be made.

While a case related to the controversial amendment to the Constitutional Council Act in December is at the Supreme Court, the positions of the chair and members of the Public Service Commission, the constitutional body mandated to recruit employees in the bureaucracy, government-owned companies, security agencies and other federal offices remain vacant.
