The Public Service Commission (PSC) convened a two-day legal mapping workshop following the enactment of the 10th Amendment to the 1993 Constitution and in response to recurring legal and operational challenges facing the Commission.

The workshop forms part of an ongoing effort to systematically review and strengthen the legal frameworks governing the PSC. The exercise involves a comprehensive and evidence-based assessment of all relevant constitutional provisions, legislation, regulations, policies, administrative practices, and judicial precedents.

The review focuses on identifying legal gaps, conflicts, overlaps, and institutional limitations. In particular, the assessment examines:
a) Whether the constitutional provisions, legislation, and administrative practices are logically aligned, internally consistent, and mutually reinforcing; and
b) Whether the existing legal architecture, both in design and practice, adequately safeguards the PSC’s structural, functional, financial, and decisional autonomy consistent with the                                 constitutional design.

The legal mapping exercise is ongoing and forms part of the PSC’s continued commitment to strengthening governance, institutional effectiveness, and constitutional compliance.
