Kathmandu, Nepal, September29, 2020: Though the federal government is yet to endorse the Federal Civil Service Act, the Province 2 government has on Monday authorized the provincial Public Service Commission to initiate the employee appointment process.
The Cabinet meeting of the Province 2 government held on Monday decided to give authority to the provincial commission for the appointment of employees under technical services health and engineering.
Though the Province 2 government had formed the provincial Public Service Commission on September 8, 2019, it was remaining functionless due to a lack of necessary laws. Constitutionally, the provincial Civil Service Act can initiate the employee appointment process as per the spirit of the federal act, which is yet to endorse.
The provincial government has made the decision to initiate the employee hiring process in the pretext of managing the shortage of employee to execute the development works in the province. The Cabinet meeting has also decided to post 25 employees at the commission. Birendra Yadav, secretary at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Law, has been given the responsibility as the secretary of the provincial Public Service Commission.
