The appointment of all civil servants, except to the Administrative Service, was
devolved from the Public Service Commission (PSC) and other Commissions to
Personnel Boards in Ministries. This is to give line managers greater authority and
flexibility in personnel management functions. There are 3 levels of personnel
boards: Special Personnel Board, Senior Personnel Board and Personnel Board; each
taking charge of different divisions of officers. Policies on
recruitment continue to be set by the Public Service Division (PSD) of the Prime Minister’s Office
