Nasser highlighted that the establishment of the new
commission is a key outcome of the public sector development initiatives and
its executive program, which received approval last August, reported Khaberni.
Emphasizing that the upcoming changes go beyond mere name
alteration, he emphasized that a comprehensive transformation of tasks, roles,
and current responsibilities will take place.
The commission's primary responsibilities will include
monitoring and overseeing government departments, while actively supporting
institutions and ministries in collaboration with the Ministry of Digital
Economy and Entrepreneurship and other relevant ministries.
Notably, the Commission will replace the Ministry of Public
Sector Development.
Human resources management to focus on systematic planning
Under the new framework, the focus will shift towards
systematic planning for departments and institutions, aiming to enhance the
capabilities of public employees. This approach marks a significant departure
from the previous human resources management practices.
Nasser reaffirmed that despite the changes, the commission
will retain its authority and the president's direct connection to the prime
minister. Moreover, the institution's independence will be safeguarded, and it
will be vested with necessary powers to carry out its mandate effectively.
Addressing concerns over potential disruptions in appointments,
Nasser stressed that a smooth transition is expected, ensuring there will be no
chaos in the process.
