Article 88 of the Constitution provides for the creation of the PSC and reads as follows:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c88 Public Service Commission<\/p>\n<p>(1) There shall be a Public Service Commission, which shall consist of a Chairman, 2 Deputy-Chairmen and 4 other Commissioners appointed by the President.<\/p>\n<p>(2) No person shall be qualified for appointment as a Commissioner of the Public Service Commission if he is a member of, or a candidate for election to, the Assembly or any local authority, a public officer or a local government officer.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Where the office of Chairman of the Public Service Commission is vacant or the Chairman is for any reason unable to perform the functions of his office, those functions shall be performed by such one of the Deputy-Chairmen or Commissioners of the Commission as the President may appoint.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Where at any time there are less than 3 Commissioners of the Public Service Commission besides the Chairman or where any such Commissioner is acting as Chairman or is for any reason unable to perform the functions of his office, the President may appoint a person qualified for appointment as a Commissioner of the Commission to act as a Commissioner, and any person so appointed shall continue to act until his appointment is revoked by the President.<\/p>\n<p>(5) The functions of the President under this section shall be exercised by him after consultation with the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Pursuant to article 89 of the Constitution, the PSC has, inter alia, the duty to appoint and remove officers in the civil service and it also exercises disciplinary functions over public officers. The powers of the PSC may be delegated to any Commissioner or any public officer.<\/p>\n<p>It may be gleaned that the framers of our Constitution considered the PSC a body so important that the members of the PSC could only be appointed after the President has consulted the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition.<\/p>\n<p>The final choice of the members vests in the President only as the President only needs to consult the PM and the Leader of the Opposition and he is not bound by their views.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, article 92 of the Constitution reinforces the security of tenure of Commissioners of the PSC by setting out a very tight framework guaranteeing their independence.<\/p>\n<p>If this were not enough, it is important to recall that, according to regulation 12 of the PSC regulations, every Commissioner shall, on appointment, take oath in the form set out in the second schedule. The oath reads as follows: \u201cOath of Commissioner<\/p>\n<p>I, \u2026, having been appointed as Chairman\/ Deputy Chairman\/Commissioner of the Public Service Commission do swear\/solemnly and sincerely declare and affirm that I will without fear or favour, affection or ill-will, discharge the functions of the office of Chairman\/Deputy Chairman\/Commissioner of the Public Service Commission, and that I will not, directly or indirectly, reveal any matters relating to such functions to any unauthorised persons otherwise than in the course of duty.<\/p>\n<p>Sworn\/affirmed before me this \u2026 day of \u2026. 20. . Judge of the Supreme Court\u201d What the above indisputably establishes is as follows: (a) The PSC is a constitutional creature;<\/p>\n<p>(b) The mode of appointment of its members is provided for by the Constitution and is vested in no less an important figure than the President of the Republic, who is above party politics;<\/p>\n<p>(c) The Constitution guarantees security of tenure to members of the PSC;<\/p>\n<p>(d) The PSC is entrusted with wide powers and its independence is guaranteed by the oath taken by its members;<\/p>\n<p>(e) Members of the PSC are independent. In addition to the above, the Constitution provides three further safeguards:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Decisions of the PSC may be challenged before the Public Bodies Appeal Tribunal (PBAT);<\/p>\n<p>(b) Decisions of the PBAT may in turn be challenged by way of Judicial Review before the Supreme Court;<\/p>\n<p>(c) Judicial Reviews of the Supreme Court may be challenged before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.<\/p>\n<p>In view of what has been adumbrated above, the statement of Mr Morvan appears less eloquent and less damaging than it initially does\u2026 What is being implied by Mr Morvan is that every component of the so-called Mauritius \u201crainbow nation\u201d should be represented at the PSC, a Constitutional and independent body.<\/p>\n<p>Is Mr Morvan implying that there needs to be a Creole on the Board of the PSC for the PSC to discharge its Constitutional functions effectively? If what Mr Morvan is implying is carried to its logical conclusion, then every other component of the Mauritian society should be represented on the PSC and other constitutional bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Hindus may claim that they are not a unitary community and that every major caste has a right to be represented, Muslims may stake a similar claim, so can the Guajarati, Tamil, Telegu and Marathi communities also stake their claims for representation.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, nobody has, as yet, followed the way in which Mr Morvan presents the situation for, if we were to apply this warped logic, we would be going for the balkanization of the Mauritian community.<\/p>\n<p>It is also to be noted that up to now, nobody has raised an essential flaw in Mr Morvan\u2019s statement to the effect that the President, did initially, not appoint any Creole on the PSC board.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, the concept of Creole does not exist in Mauritius and our Constitution refers to \u201cPopulation Generale\u201d. It may be the case that Mr Morvan used the word \u201cCreole\u201d advisedly as a member of his party, Minister M.<\/p>\n<p>Sik Yuen has been allocated a seat which would have otherwise gone to a member of the \u201cPopulation Generale\u201d, as everyone understands the term to mean in its Mauritian context, i. e. \u201cCreole\u201d, by a legal subterfuge whereby he described himself as a member of the \u201cPopulation Generale\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If Mr Yeung Sik Yuen John Michael Tzoun Sao can be a member of the \u201cPopulation Generale\u201d as opposed to being a member of the Sino-Mauritian community for the PMSD, why can\u2019t Mr Chan Kam Lon, not be seen by the PMSD\u2019s eyes in the same light as Mr Yeung Sik Yuen John Michael Tzoun? Readers will draw their own conclusions on the stand of the PMSD on the representation of Creoles at the PSC, in the light of the allocation of a best loser seat to Mr Yeung Sik Yuen John Michael Tzoun.<\/p>\n<p>If we were to push Mr Morvan\u2019s logic further, should we be looking at whether the Judges of the Supreme Court represent a fair cross-section of the Mauritian nation when we all know the fierce independence of our judiciary? Should Permanent Secretaries or public officers be appointed according to ethnicity rather than qualifications? Maybe the PMSD should qualify Mr Morvan\u2019s statement\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
