Every commission would now be headed by Permanent Secretaries, and in cases where there is no permanent secretary, the most senior official in the agency, Director or Head of Administration would take charge.
All the suspended officials have been ordered to hand over all responsibilities and documents to the new leaders in their ministries and agencies.
