Successor to Varkonian civil service announced following independence

After leaving its union with Varkonia, the Lord’s Council of Gabon today passed law establishing the Gabon Public Service to replace the Varkonian civil service.

The law continues the policy objective of running a public service that benefits the nation by promoting construction, industry and economy.

But the law, written by councillor GetSkinny, goes much further than the previous Varkonian law, which was written by EvilxFish.

Gabon’s law enshrines that the public service must be both efficient and apolitical. It also requires the service to be ethical, respectful, accountable and impartial.

Citizens will be pleased with the law continuing the policy of requiring payment for work completed.

Going further than this, the new law also requires the public service to provide employees with tools and materials to complete work.

It allows the service and employees to negotiate on payment for personal tools that a worker may prefer to use over public tools.

To ensure public property is returned, the law makes it a criminal offence for an employee to keep government tools and an offence for people to receive stolen government tools.

Departing from the previous set of agencies, the new law establishes the following agencies:

• Agriculture to construct and harvest public farms, and protect nationally significant parts of the environment
• Growth and Innovation to identify export strategies for national financial benefit, and to attract international vendors to Gabon’s marketplaces
• Housing and Urban Development to build new housing in Gabon’s local styles, to build new marketplaces in Gabon, to protect and conserve Gabon’s cultural heritage, to produce maps of Salisbury, and to maintain government and abandoned buildings
• Transportation to provide the best possible public passenger transport at reasonable cost to the community, and construct new rail lines

The Gazette understands that the Lord High Chancellor is currently interviewing candidates for the position of Director-General and will make a recommendation to the Lord’s Council in the coming days.
