Authorities are there to change and come up with ways to improve our entities. One of them is the Public Service Commission. However, I do not believe individuals making submissions to the PSC are being treated correctly when a claim is against a selection board and the exam is verbal.

My husband was a case in point. At this stage, I will only ask questions, though, eventually, I will give details so readers could judge for themselves.

Are five working days enough to submit more documents, even when nobody is at home to sign the registered letter asking for such information?

If documents were not at hand when the case is declared closed, does it mean the board in question gets off scot-free? Could the PSC simply decide that what the complainant had said in his/her objection letter are allegations without even bothering to pick up the phone and check?

If the courts and the Ombudsman refuse to change decisions made by the PSC, where can one file an appeal?

Is it time to start making electronic recordings when verbal examinations are held?

My husband was not interested in getting a promotion when submitting his objection letter to the PSC but only that justice be done. Were he only after a promotion, he could have fought for it when certain circumstances occurred involving the selected candidate before his first year of probation was up. However, my husband is a gentleman, which cannot be said of the board.
