Title: [CRL] The Secretary of State Responsibility Reform Bill
Post by: Miestră Schivă, UrN on August 15, 2022, 07:57:15 PM
WHEREAS the principle of the Royal Civil Service, including the Chancery, is that it should be free from political interference, and yet still responsible for its performance to the elected representatives of the people;

AND WHEREAS when the Royal Civil Service was established, this principle was put into effect such that the Secretary of State should be responsible to the chairs of the Two Houses of the Ziu, as well as to the Seneschal;

AND WHEREAS the current situation is that any one of those three persons can effectively dismiss the Secretary of State;

AND WHEREAS this is a little bit
too responsible;

BE IT ENACTED by the King, Cosă and Senäts in Ziu assembled that
El Lexhatx C.3.1 be changed to read as follows:

Quote3.1 The Secretary of State is appointed by the King on the recommendation of the Seneschál, and removed by the King on the recommendation of any two of the Seneschál, the Túischac'h or the Mençei for professional misconduct, inability to perform their duties due to incapacitation or failure to perform their required duties.

It's statutorily advanced, but I don't see any issues with it.
