Government positions should be granted to people with no bachelor’s degree

A government is the system or group of people governing an organized community, generally a state. In the case of its broad associative definition, government normally consists of legislature, executive, and judiciary. Government is a means by which organizational policies are enforced, as well as a mechanism for determining policy. A government’s basic functions are providing leadership, maintaining order, public services, national security, economic security, and economic assistance. The government should have the heart to serve and has the capability to empathize to the needy, after all it is a civil service which is why I think that people without a bachelor degree should be given a position in the government.

There are two (2) positions in the government service: one is the elected position; in a local scenario it is the local chief executive and members of the legislative branch of the government and the 2nd is the appointed position. These two positions in the government service introduce laws that will be in effect for a long time. Furthermore, their leadership and integrity are responsible for the actual and implementation.

In the elected position, it is stated in the current Philippines Constitution under Sec. 3. Qualification that an elective local official must be a citizen of the Philippines, a qualified voter; resident of the district, municipality, city or province where he proposes to be elected, as the case may be, for at least six (6) months at the time of the filing of his certificate of candidacy; must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age on election day; and must be able to read and write. As you can see there are no specific requisites for educational background.

However, some people think that a leader or a politician must be an educated person. Since everyone agrees that education is important. After all, politicians are either legislators, executors, or leaders. They must have a strong understanding of what is going on and the foresight to solve problems and make the country a better place to live in. Problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and reasoning are required, as is a wide understanding of processes, procedures, and concerns, as well as implementation and enforcement. Is education, however, the same as a college diploma? Others may give examples of leaders who do not have a college diploma. Despite the fact that George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Winston Churchill did not attend college, they are well-known in politics.

In the appointed position, there are 2 levels of eligibility requirements in the government service: first is the civil service professional eligibility and the prc licensed which can be converted into a civil service professional eligibility, both of which are for managerial and supervisory positions, this level is for those who have a bachelor’s degree. And 2nd is the sub professional eligibility which is for undergrads, for those who did not graduate a minimum of 4-year course degree which is limited only to rank and file positions.

Therefore, as you can see people with no bachelor’s degree can be given a position in the government, it can be either in the elected position or in the appointed position. As long as you have acquired the minimum requirements you can have a position in the government.

Anambra Central Senatorial Seat: FHC makes U-turn, okays re-run election

ABUJA – The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Friday, reversed itself by vacating its judgment that declared Dr. Obiora Okonkwo of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the validly elected representative for Anambra Central Senatorial District. Judicial symbol The court said it was misled by Okonkwo to enter the consent judgment that ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to issue Certificate of Return to him as Senator for the district. The decison of the court has cleared the coast for INEC to proceed with the re-run election slated for Saturday. Justice John Tsoho had in the said vacated judgment that was delivered on December 13, 2017, also directed the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki to immediately swear-in the plaintiff to occupy the Senatorial seat which has been vacant since 2015. The verdict followed a suit marked FHC/Abj/CS/1092/14, which Okonkwo filed against the PDP, its former National Chiarman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu, INEC and Mrs. Uche Ekwunife. Meantime, Justice Tsoho reversed himself on the strenght of an application that INEC lodged before the court. INEC had in a motion it filed on December 21, asked the court to set-aside the judgment which it said was in contrast with three subsisting decisions of the Court of Appeal. According to the electoral body, the appellate court had in three separate verdicts in suit number CA/EPT/28/2015, delivered on December 7, 2015, CA/A/160/2016 and CA/A/165/2016, both delivered on November 20, 2017, directed it to within 90 days, conduct a re-run poll for the Senatorial district. INEC, through its lawyer, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, insisted that the high court lacked the powers to order it to issue Certificate of Return to Okonkwo, when the appellate court which is higher in hierachy, earlier made definite orders that fresh election should be conducted. However, Okonkwo’s lawyer, Mr. Sebastian Hon, SAN, urged the court to dismiss INEC’s motion with substantial cost, insisting that the application was incompetent in law. Hon stressed that the case of his client bordered on pre-election dispute. Similarly, counsel to the PDP and that of Ekwunife aligned themselves with Hon’s position, contending that the high court had become functus-officio in the matter and could not sit on appeal to vary its own orders as it was prayed to do by INEC. In his ruling on Friday, Justice Tsoho held that Okonkwo took steps that was not only deliberately misconcieved, but was meant to misdirect the court. “The judgment entered by this court is a consent judgment rendered on procedural ground without trial. On that basis, this court is not rendered functus-officio. “The judgment is not one based on merit, therefore this court has jurisdiction to revisit it. It cannot be described as final judgment to strip the court of its jurisdiction to revisit it”, the judge held. Justice Tsoho stressed that Okonkwo’s claim that he was not a party to any of the cases decided by the Court of Appeal was immaterial in view of the fact that he is a member of the PDP which has already gone before the Supreme Court to challenge the verdicts. He held that Okonkwo could not feign ignorance of the three verdicts that okayed fresh election for Anambra Central Senatorial district. The Judge said if Okonkwo felt his interest was affected by the appellate court judgements, he ought to have gone before the Supreme Court for remedy. “By doctrine of judicial precedence, decision of the Court of Appeal is ordinarily binding on this court in respect of this matter. If consent judgment of this court is at variance with decisions of the Court of Appeal, it is bound to be declared a nullity. “Therefore, the consent judgment of this court is vacated and set-aside. Consequently, this suit is adjourned indefinitely pending the outcome of the appeals filed by the PDP at the Supreme Court”, Justice Tsoho held. Meanwhile, after the ruling, Okonkwo, through his lawyer, Hon, SAN, vowed to appeal the decision. Okonkwo had in the suit he filed in 2014, told the court that he contested and won the primary election PDP conducted for the district held on December 7, 2014, at Ekwueme Square in Awka by scoring the highest number of votes cast at the said primary. He said the primary was conducted by the National Executive Committee of the party. However, the plaintiff told the court that Chairman of the Electoral Panel that was sent to Anambra state to conduct the exercise, refused to sign and forward the Result Sheet of the primary poll and insisted that Abuja had directed them on whom they should return whether the Plaintiff scored the highest number of votes or not. Dissatisfied with action of the party, the plaintiff filed the suit wherein he sought an interpretation of section 87 of the Electoral Act, 2010, by the court, even as he alleged breach of provisions of 2014 PDP Guidelines for primary election. The Plaintiff said he was aware that the Court of Appeal in Enugu had in an election petition No CA/EPT/28/2015, held that Ekwunife did not win the said primary election and was not qualified to contest the National Assembly Election. He insisted that what the appellate court decided in the petition that was filed by Chief Victor Umeh of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, against the PDP, was what he equally went to court to challenge, to the effect that he was the the validly nominated candidate of the PDP that scored highest number of votes at the primary and not Ekwunife. Neverthless, after about three years into hearing of Okonkwo suit, all the defendants including INEC and Ekwunife, withdrew their objections to the suit, saying they would abide by the decision of the court. Justice Tsoho agreed with counsel to the plaintiff that in view of the withdrawal of counter-affidavits by all defendants, he said the court was at liberty under the law to enter judgment in Okonkwo’s favour. Justice Tsoho therefore granted relief three and sub-paragraph (i-iv) of the plaintiff’s amended originating summons dated June 20, 2017, a decision that was reversed on Friday to clear the coast for the Anambra Central Senatorial poll slated for today (Saturday).
