A senior civil servant within the Ministry of Legal Affairs has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an independent investigation, state media reported Tuesday.
The move follows a recommendation by the Public Service Commission, which is questioning the official’s handling of an alleged case of impropriety involving a junior staff member in the ministry.
According to the report, a committee has been constituted to conduct an inquiry into what has been described as alleged dereliction of duty, lack of oversight and failure to adhere to the standards expected of a senior public servant.
In a related development, a recommendation has also been made for another senior civil servant in the ministry to be immediately removed from her post.

Just asking, don’t we have the right to know who these individuals are
Not yet…Supposed nothing go so…
To Inquiring Mind, no, until a person is adjudged to be guilty of wrong doing their reputation ought not to be publicized.
What business is it of anybody at this point.
Let us assume that the person so accused is guilty, then the information can be shared to protect others. If, on the other hand, the person is not found to be guilty, then publicizing their names at the inquiry stage could cause harm to the reputation unnecessarily. On the other hand, may I ask, should the name of the complainant be publicized?
