Religious figures, persons who have acquired citizenship of another state and/or have obligations to another state, as well as persons who, due to diseases included in a list determined by the body (institution) designated by the relevant executive authority, are deemed unfit to serve in state bodies, will not be able to hold civil service positions, APA reports.
This is reflected in the draft Civil Service Code discussed at today’s meeting of the Milli Majlis Committee on Legal Policy and State Building.
Under the current Law “On Civil Service,” a person cannot be admitted to the civil service in the following cases:
- if a court decision confirms that the person lacks legal capacity or has limited legal capacity;
- if the person has an unexpunged or outstanding conviction;
- if the person has a close family or in-law relationship (spouses, their parents, brothers, sisters and children) with a civil servant under whose direct subordination or supervision they would work;
- if there is a legally effective court decision ordering compulsory medical measures against the person;
- in other cases stipulated by legislation.
According to the draft, the following persons will not be able to hold civil service positions:
- persons who have acquired citizenship of another state and/or have obligations to another state;
- persons whose lack of legal capacity or limited legal capacity has been confirmed by a legally effective court decision;
- persons with an unexpunged or outstanding conviction;
- persons against whom there is a legally effective court decision ordering compulsory medical measures;
- persons who, due to diseases included in a list determined by the body (institution) designated by the relevant executive authority, are deemed unfit to serve in state bodies;
- persons whose civil service was terminated for failure to perform or properly perform their service functions and duties, or for failure to comply with established restrictions, for a period of six months;
- religious figures.
It should be noted that, as in the Law “On Civil Service,” the draft Civil Service Code retains the age limit of 65.
