All civil servants in my Department with the requisite skills and experience are eligible to apply for internal promotion competitions irrespective of their grade. Since the change in eligibility rules for promotion came into effect in December 2013, one Clerical Officer has been promoted to Higher Executive Officer. No Executive Officer has been promoted to Assistant Principal Officer.
