The Public Service Commission (PSC) says it will investigate allegations of irregular appointments within the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, including claims that Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure Dean Macpherson may have been involved in appointing a senior official without following proper recruitment procedures.
This comes after ActionSA Member of Parliament (MP) Malebo Kobe wrote to the commission raising concerns over the appointment process.
In a written response to Kobe, the Public Service Commission confirmed that it had assessed a complaint relating to the appointment of the Chief Director: Executive Support in the Office of the Director-General within the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure.
“Kindly be informed that your complaint has been escalated to PSC, Chief Director: Public Administration Investigation Division, for further handling and appropriate intervention. Please note that the PSC will investigate the appointment of the Chief Director: Executive Support in the Office of the Director-General,'' said the Commission.
