Parliament to vote on DA’s End Cadre Deployment Bill tomorrow
18 September 2023
Tomorrow, 19 September, the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) End Cadre Deployment Bill will serve before the National Assembly. The Bill – formally entitled the Public Administration Laws General Amendment Bill (PALGAB) – is designed to replace cadre deployment with merit-based appointments throughout the public sector.
To achieve this aim, the Bill would:
Make it a criminal offence to interfere in public sector appointment processes;
Prohibit political office-bearers from employment in the public service;
