Appendix 6: Letter from Secretary of State
to Rt Hon Sir Malcolm Bruce MP dated 14 October 2014
Further to our exchanges of letters this year about
the recruitment of new Commissioners for the next phase of ICAI,
I am writing to update you on the process that is now under way
for the recruitment of Commissioners.
Following the earlier advertisement for one or two
of the Commissioner posts, DFID was disappointed not to have attracted
the very high calibre of candidates that we had expected. We are
now planning to re-advertise all three Commissioner posts with
a view to attracting a more suitable mix of candidates. I am grateful
to the IDC for volunteering a member to sit on the Commissioner
recruitment panel and am attaching a proposed timetable for the
process. We have tentatively scheduled the interviews early in
December.
I am now attaching the job specification for the
appointments which will be advertised shortly.
The posts will be advertised on the OCPA website
and in the press including in the Economist and Sunday Times.
With many thanks for your continuing engagement in
this important process.
