Life of police and public service commissions has expired

The life of several service commissions, including those pertaining to the police force and public servants, expired at the end of last month, according to Minister of State Joseph Harmon, who said on Thursday that the process to select new members will be activated.

Responding to questions during a post-cabinet press briefing, Harmon said that there is a process by which the membership of these commissions are selected.

“We have actually put in place the arrangements to facilitate that process. It requires of course …there are some nominees to be made by government and there are others which have to come through the parliamentary select process so that membership on these commissions are dealt with in accordance with our constitution,” he said.
