The issues around merit not being demonstrated resulted from a review that the Public Service Commission auditors did.of a large number of files It was found that the files did not contain sufficient information.
For example, some of the justifications were missing. Some of the ratings that were used were.... There were some qualities that may not have been assessed. The Public Service Commission was of the view that the files did not show that merit was actually demonstrated. They are not, however, saying that merit was not respected, which is not the case at all. So we have put in place a much stricter mechanism within our human resources group to ensure that all of the appropriate documents are on the files, so that merit is demonstrated in every case.
