Luanda – Draft Law on Civil Service, discussed at the meeting of Economic Commission of the Cabinet Council on Thursday, provides for removing the age limit of 35 years for joining the Public Administration.

The new Law, which scraps the previous 17/90, of 20 October, was analysed at the 6th Meeting of the Economic Commission of the Council of Ministers, chaired by the President of the Republic, João Lourenço.

"We are going to remove in this new Basic Law the age limit of 35 years, which was a very worrying issue, not only because we had many cases of people at this age who gave support and added value in very important works due to their practicality and experience in the Civil Service, but because of the age limit, they could no longer join the Public Administration", said the Minister of Public Administration, Labour and Social Security (MAPTSS), Teresa Dias.

Speaking to the press on the sidelines of the meeting, the minister said that the Executive believes that the 35-year limit violates the principles enshrined in the Constitution, regarding the right to work.

The Law still in force, considered outdated, given the current context, will be replaced by the new one that will be discussed in the National Assembly (AN) in July this year, according to Minister Teresa Dias.

"With this new law it is intended to value human capital, above all, and reinforce the rights and guarantee of public servants, bringing together in a single diploma the fundamental bases of this, avoiding various legislative dispersions", she said.

According to the official, the new Law is also intended to clarify and develop matters about the civil service that, until then, had problems in its application.

In the field of legal-labour relations, the probation period is also reduced from five years to one year, being the period for entry into the permanent staff, as in other geographies.

As for the fixed-term employment contract, that is, a fixed employment contract, the law extends it to 24 months, against the 12 months still in force.

With this measure, according to Teresa Dias, all rights and obligations cease at the end of the 24 months, including rights to salary.

In this way, it is intended to do away with, in the Public Administration, an accumulation of people under these employment contracts, so that they do not stay in it for 10 to 15 years, forcing the State to make their integration.

Still in the area of ​​probity, the new law extends the posting, for a period not exceeding three years, which can be extended only once.

Regarding the interim positions, the new law, which will be discussed, states that the period cannot exceed 12 months, after which, the person who works as interim starts to take the place, provided that it meets the requirements for the same.

Another important aspect has to do with the forecast of a reduction in the 35 hours of work per week, in addition to the introduction of the teleworking regime, due to the dynamics of covid-19.

Also according to the official, a period of six months, counting from the date of publication of the new law, was devoted to the integration of  employees under contract, provided they are included in the Integrated Financial Management System of the State (SIGFE).
