On September 29, Minister Faya François Bourouno addressed candidates who will be admitted to the public service recruitment exam, stating that their admission does not automatically mean they will be appointed as civil servants. A probationary period of at least one year is required before their evaluation. The results of the exam are subject to a verification mechanism to ensure they comply with integrity rules.
According to Minister Bourouno, a jury committee examines the results before taking a decree to engage the selected candidates as probationary civil servants. He explained that after this process, the results are published and go through a mechanism that allows a jury committee to analyze them to ensure they guarantee integrity rules. A decree is then taken to engage these civil servants as probationary civil servants to serve the public administration.
Minister Bourouno emphasized that after their engagement, new agents must obligatorily undergo a probationary period before their possible appointment as civil servants. This period, fixed by law, is at least one year. He stated that the law requires that after the engagement decree, since the recruited civil servants have the status of probationary civil servants, they must observe a probationary period.
At the end of this period, agents will be evaluated by their hierarchy, which will determine their appointment or their maintenance in the probationary status. Minister Bourouno clarified that being admitted to the competitive exam does not automatically make an agent a civil servant. The evaluation results will determine whether the recruited agent is appointed or not.
Minister Bourouno warned future recruits that an unfavorable evaluation can lead to their non-appointment. He stated that if the results during the probationary period are not conclusive for the hierarchical superior, the agent may be rejected and will not continue to have the status of civil servant. In this case, they will have to wait for another competitive exam to serve the public service.
Minister Bourouno stressed that these provisions are provided by the texts that frame the public service and are part of the modernization process of the administration. He stated that these rules are based on international standards and are an integral part of the modernization of the public service.
The Minister's statement aims to clarify the public service recruitment process and ensure that candidates understand the requirements and expectations. The process is designed to ensure the integrity and competence of civil servants, and Minister Bourouno emphasized that it is part of the government's efforts to modernize the administration.
