You have to make it known by the Public through BBS media. It is your responsibility to assit the people know about the wrong doings of the rulling government. Cheers

Not to let the OL mislead his few hardcore followers, here is the relevant provision of the Constitution on Pay Commission.
Article 30.3. The recommendations of the Commission shall be implemented only on the APPROVAL of the Lhengye Zhungtshog and subject to such conditions and modifications as MAY BE made by Parliament.
This implies that the Cabinet is the approving authority and not Parliament.
By the way, OL, what is your constitutional status? Your party members (member) do not seem to thin that you are that hot after all if what BT reported was true. When are you going to have your General Assembly?

I am not well versed with the constitutional procedures and authority of the cabinet, so i don't know for sure if it is a breach of procedures. Common Sense does seem to suggest that NA is supreme and any modification of the the resolution of the NA has to be endorsed by the NA.

Along the similar lines of bypassing rules and procedures is the way in which many directorial posts have been filled by direct appointment. Does the PCS not require that such posts be filled through open competition?

undeniably, there are many flaws in the PCS system, but there is good to this system too, one of which is ensuring equity and justice.

why should parliament discuss civil service salary in the first place?
leave that to some independent apolitical body which knows about civil service and of course, which has knowledge of financial situation of the country
