Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

In its previous comments the Committee referred to the provisions on resignation, particularly in respect of persons who have received State-financed training, contained in the following texts: Act No. 61-23 of 15 June 1961 issuing the general conditions of service of the public service; Decree No. 77-429 updated on 31 December 1987, to organize the National School for the Training of Administrators and Public Officials; Decree No. 84-501 of 2 May 1984 to establish the organization and operating rules of the Military Health School. The above provisions impose compulsory service of from ten to 15 years.

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report to the effect that owing the changes in the economic and social environment, new legislation was adopted in 1990 to make the rules on the resignation of public officials more flexible and to encourage voluntary departure by means of a bonus. It adds that, in practice, public officials wishing to leave the service, including those trained in schools of administration, have been allowed to leave the service without having to fulfil any obligations in return.

The Committee asks the Government to provide a copy of the provisions to encourage members of the public service to leave voluntarily, and to indicate how many officials were authorized to leave under the voluntary departure programme and how many were refused authorization.
