Khan defends retaining retired Perm Sec

This is according to Energy and Energy Affairs Minister Franklin Khan, who in the question and answer session in yesterday’s sitting of the Senate, said, his ministry “has been weakened by the loss to industry on a sustained basis of key technical personnel and by retirement of senior management personnel.” Lashley, who reached the age of retirement in March, he said, was a case in point and as such was retained from March 17, 2017 to March 16, 2018.

The recommendation for re-employment was made to the Public Service Commission.

It was reported to the Chief Personnel Officer who consulted with the Public Services Association which agreed to the recommendation.
