Madam Speaker, the grades of Senior Chief Executive, Permanent Secretary, Deputy Permanent Secretary and Assistant Secretary (formerly known as Assistant Permanent Secretary) form part of the Administrative Cadre of the public service. The Administrative Cadre is involved in the formulation, coordination and implementation of Government policies, goals and objectives and providing administrative support to the machinery of Government. The officers of the Administrative Cadre are also called upon to give advice and support to Ministers on the current Government business including their parliamentary duties, drafting and administration of legislation, initiating and implementing programmes which aim at enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of any department of Government where they are posted. Madam Speaker, pursuant to Section 89(4) of the Constitution, Supervising Officers including Senior Chief Executives and Permanent Secretaries, amongst others, are appointed by the Public Service Commission subject to the concurrence of the Prime Minister. As regard, Deputy Permanent Secretaries and Assistant Secretaries, they are appointed by the Public Service Commission and their postings fall within the ambit of the responsibilities of the Secretary to Cabinet and Head of the Civil Service. While posting these officers, the Secretary to Cabinet and Head of the Civil Service ensures that they get the opportunity to acquire appropriate experience and exposure in the management of the whole administrative machinery of government. However, the duration of their posting is subject to the exigencies of the service. In regard to part (b) of the question, Madam Speaker, I am tabling the list of officers.

Thank you. Yes, Dr. hon. Aumeer! POLICE OFFICERS – ASSAULTS & MOLESTATION – REPORTED CASES
