If a person feels the Open Merit System has not been adhered to for any civil service position, they can appeal for it.
Attorney General and Minister of Civil Service Aiyaz Sayed‑Khaiyum says sometimes the panel of people who are recruiting civil servants maybe colluding because they are mates.
Sayed-Khaiyum says there is now an appeal process and it will be made available on the Civil Service Ministry website.
He says all panelists must be trained and should understand the principles of the Open Merit Recruitment System.
Sayed-Khaiyum explains that if one of the four interviewees feel that the process had not adhered to the principles of the system, then they can formally write to the Public Service Commission.
The PSC will then direct the Permanent Secretary to re-do the interviews without revealing the name of the person who sent the review.
