Kuwait city: The proposed amendments to the law and system of civil service have been endorsed during the civil service council's meeting as part of government efforts aiming to raise the efficiency of the state administrative system and keep pace with modern management, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Monday. In a press statement, Minister Shereeda Al-Mousherji, also the council's acting chairman, added that these amendments would contribute to the optimal use of human resources and improving the quality of public services.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the proposals focus on concepts such as boosting efficiency and productivity, linking job advantages, incentives, and allowances to actual performances, as well as cementing job justice and equality. The amendments aim to bolster control and accountability, raise the effectiveness of administrative accountability, unify public policies for recruitment, and address organizational disorders while developing performance.
The amendments also propose using modern methods to assess individual performance by using automatic systems and supporting decision-making through comprehensive information systems and databases. They allow for the updating of non-traditional administrative systems to keep pace with work updates and to accommodate varying performance conditions, which would diversify the systems governing state employees.
