A large number of complaints regarding the public service are being received daily, both nominally and anonymously, by the President’s Office, the Prime Minister’s Office and the public representatives.
In order to protect the public trust in the government and, in particular, to bring about the desired positive changes in the public service, an impartial and scientific investigation into such complaints should be conducted.
The government has decided to investigate the way in which public institutions have functioned under previous governments, as well as the public complaints, submissions and information reported from various sources regarding the functioning of current public institutions.
Accordingly, the proposal submitted by the President to establish investigation units at the ministry level headed by a first-grade officer of an island-wide service or a first-grade executive officer of the public service with experience in the investigation process was approved by the Cabinet.
