The Committee on Judiciary, Public Service Matters, Public Petitions and Conflict Resolution of the Cross River State House of Assembly, has called for the dissolution of the State Civil Service Commission over a large scale of misconduct.
The assembly has also uncovered how the commission promoted an Internal Revenue Service, IRS, staff from Grade Level 5 to 15 after only five years in service. Presenting the report, the Chairman of the Committee and member representing Abi State Constituency, Davies Etta, informed the Assembly that although the Commission had the Governor's approval to carry out promotions, it did not follow the required procedures in some cases.
The Assembly, however, wants the Governor to consider Commissioners 1 and 3, namely, Mr. Martin Usibe and Chief Ita Onoyom Ette, respectively, for reappointment into the Commission when it is reconstituted, having been absolved of any breach of conduct from their investigations. The House also recommended that the next commission continue with the promotions of civil servants as earlier approved by the state governor based on the existing promotion protocols to avoid disrepute to the commission.
