 | New organogram makes ACC dysfunctional
15 July, 2006
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) organogram prepared by the government has rendered the commission dysfunctional as it does not allow appointment of at least 50 per cent staff of the abolished Bureau of Anti-Corruption (Bac) screened by the ACC.
The ACC, created in 2004, screened 743 former employees of the now-defunct bureau last year and sought government clearance for its organisational structure with 1,376 posts.
But in May, the government unilaterally finalised an organogram of 650 posts and by June the National Implementation Committee on Administrative Reforms (Nicar), chaired by the prime minister, approved it.
The 743 former Bac officials have been drawing salaries from the ACC ever since their screening. But with the approval of the new structure, the ACC now does not know what to do with these unaccommodated Bac employees.
The ACC received the papers on the new organogram on July 4 but it could not make a single appointment under the new structure as of yesterday due to this problem. "We have held four to five meetings discussing how we can resolve this crisis but found no solution," said an ACC official.
"The approved structure does not allow any appointment from the 743 [former Bac] staff to more than 100 top posts," he said, adding, "We will have to fill these posts either by fresh appointments or by bringing officials from the administration on deputation.
