The anti-graft agency will assess public service job applicants through online means as it suspends the physical verification of forms in efforts to tame Covid-19 spread.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) said it had suspended issuance of hard copies of self-declaration forms to those seeking government employment.
“The commission wishes to inform members of the public that in line with directives of the National Emergency and Response Committee on Covid-19, the commission suspended the submission of hard copies of self-declaration forms by those seeking employment in public service,” Twalib Mbarak, the EACC chief executive, said in an April 9 letter to Parliament.
“The commission wishes to advise that public entities recruiting during this period should not prejudice any employment application that will not include self-declaration form,” Mr Mbarak said.
“As a standard practice, and in compliance with Chapter Six of the Constitution, the public entities recruiting during this period are required to submit the names of shortlisted applicants to the commission for integrity verification,” Mr Mbarak said.
