Hand over NCDC shortlist
The National, Friday 14th of February, 2014
LESLIE Alu has been acting as the NCD administrator for the last 14 months since the expiration of his employment contract in Dec 2012.
The NEC did not renew his contract of reappointment as required under the public service management act.
The Public Service Commission completed the screening and selection of candidates for the position last year and forwarded a shortlist of three names to the NCDC board for endorsement before sending off to the National Executive Council for appointment.
For whatever reason, Powes Parkop is sitting and delaying on the PSC shortlist, while Alu continues to fill the position in an acting capacity.
Is this a conspiracy to cook up something in NCDC or is it a ploy to cover up some bad deeds committed by these people?
Parkop must send the PSC shortlist to NEC for permanent appointment as required under law.
He cannot continue to delay and frustrate the appointment process while the incumbent is illegally occupying office and drawing funds and committing exorbitant amounts of public funds.
I urge the chief secretary and the DPM to intervene in this matter to expedite the appointment process so that the NEC can make a permanent appointment to the post.
