The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has raised concerns that inadequate office space and limited mobility are hindering its ability to operate effectively and fulfill its mandate. The Commission, led by Prof. Julia Aker Duany, highlighted these challenges during a briefing with Vice President for the Service Cluster, Hussein Abdelbagi Akol. According to the Commission, these constraints continue to frustrate its day-to-day operations and slow down the implementation of its responsibilities. The CSC plays a critical role in managing and overseeing the country’s public workforce. Its core functions include recruitment and selection, promotion and career development, discipline and appeals, policy formulation, performance management, and the protection of civil servants. These responsibilities are essential for ensuring a fair, merit-based, and professional public service. In response, the Vice President acknowledged the concerns and assured the Commission of the government’s commitment to addressing the issue. He pledged to ensure that adequate office accommodation is provided to ease operational pressure and improve efficiency. In a media statement, Prof. Julia Aker Duany noted that once the Commission secures proper office facilities, it will strengthen policies aimed at nationalizing public service structures and making them more inclusive and accessible to all South Sudanese citizens.
