Standard 2 : Legal framework on recruitment of senior public service positions limits possibilities of political influence
Legislation should provide a barrier for a direct or indirect political influence on senior managerial positions
Summary
Legal framework for appointment to senior managerial positions is to a high degree in line with the international standards in almost all analysed systems. The lowest level of alignment exists with the requirement that that the highest-ranked candidate, or the second or third highest-ranked be appointed, in which case written justification is provided.
