In its previous comments, the Committee noted that it had not received any recent information on possible reform of Act No. 22140 of 1980 respecting the basic terms and conditions of employment in the public service, and particularly the need to repeal explicitly sections 8(g) and 33(g) (which provide that entry into the national public administration may be refused and public servants may be dismissed for belonging or having belonged to groups advocating the denial of the principles of the Constitution or for adhering personally to a doctrine of this nature). The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government to the effect that in March 1997 the National Executive sent to the National Congress a Bill on employment in the public administration designed to replace Act No. 22140 and which excludes the provisions criticized by the Committee, namely sections 8(g) and 33(g). The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of the progress in the National Congress of the Bill on employment in the public administration.
