The Best People


Statutory Bodies; Integrity and Judicial Commissions, and other Committees are as needed to break down tribal and social walls, and provide Justice for All. Such committees are explicitly to oversee, appoint, promote, and discipline persons, who add value or run afoul of established Regulations. Committees to regulate the employees, at all levels in the Public Service Administration, which implement Government Policies. Statutory Bodies and Commissions, funded by an independent, fixed budgetary calculation, as not to be influenced by politicians in The Executive Cabinet. Such Statutory Bodies and Commissions populated with independent and professional thinkers, appointed for a ten-year term, by the society’s Moral Leadership.


In addition to Human Resource matters, such Bodies and Commissions would oversee and manage, regulations and rules, to drive effectiveness and efficiencies. And in various ways, connect with Parliamentary Committees populated by Honorable People, to strengthen the execution, usage of resources, communication and the implementation of Government Policies. Standing or Permanent Parliamentary Committees, such as; Public Accounts or Administration, work on a continuous basis to oversee operations and view reports on Public Services. Ad hoc Parliamentary Committees, such as; Special and Joint Select, temporarily established to examine and report on proposed bills or other issues, freeing up valuable parliamentary time.

The Police, Teachers and similar types of Service Commissions, populated by highly experienced members involved in the related discipline, continuously interviews and assess, would be Public Service employees. Committees’ roles are to evaluate employees to fill vacancies, to promote, second or to discharge, throughout various parts, divisions and agencies, of the public service. Such committees also examine, and reviews procedures and processes used within different divisions, while monitoring reporting schedules. Noting that, the public service is charged to implement Executive Policies, within the country’s, nation’s and society’s laws, rules and regulations.

The constitution, the country’s, the nation’s, the Society’s highest Laws, provides for such Statutory Bodies and Commissions to be independently financed and instituted. Committees which operate under its own rules and regulations from the election of its chairperson, its meeting schedules, its secretariat and its annual budget. A budget, an estimate of funds connected to changes in the country’s economic conditions, which is by statue, cannot be altered by the government in power, for any reason. The Executive Cabinet, the government of the day, or its Ministry of Finance, elected and selected, has no influence on the unbiased continuance of the committees’ members, funding or work.

The best people, having no publicly expressed political views, and having demonstrated the very necessary personal moral integrity, should be put forward. Professionals with qualifications and with the required experience, including skills needed to assist the relevant Statutory Bodies and Commissions in its functions, are to be considered. The best people, who are qualified and experienced for that particular role, in the view of the President, with or without the opinions of executive and opposition leaders, should be appointed. Such members are appointed for a term that is longer than the national election period, to further avoid political influence or interference. Noting, All Statutory Committees report annually to the President and to the Parliament.
