Key Allegations:
Extension of Head of Service Tenure: The CDHR claims the Governor extended the service year of the Head of Service, Mr. Samuel Ayanleye Aina, by three years, exceeding the mandatory retirement age of 60.
Planned Extension for Others: The organization fears similar extensions are planned for the Accountant General and other Permanent Secretaries nearing retirement.
Disregard for PSR: The CDHR argues these extensions violate the PSR, which mandates retirement at 60 or 35 years of service.
CDHR Demands:
* Investigate the Governor's decision and its adherence to PSR.
* Uncover the process behind the Head of Service's extension.
* Inquire why imminent retirees haven't submitted retirement letters as per PSR.
* Publicly announce no extensions for retiring Permanent Secretaries.
* Withdraw the Head of Service's extension to uphold the PSR.
Concerns:
The CDHR expresses concern that these actions could:
* Erode public trust in the government.
* Lead to anarchy within the civil service.
* Undermine established standards in the PSR.
* Encourage nepotism and corruption.
The organization has attached copies of letters sent to the Head of Service and Accountant General regarding these issues.
Call to Action:
The CDHR urges the Osun State House of Assembly to take immediate action to investigate these allegations and ensure adherence to the Public Service Rules.
