The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments.
Repetition
The Committee notes the Government’s report received on 19 June 2013 and the observations of 30 August 2013 by the Confederation of Trade Unions of Congo (CSC). The Committee asks the Government to send any comments it deems fit in response to the CSC’s observations.
Articles 1, 4, 6 and 15(a) of the Convention. Reform of the labour inspectorate. Status and conditions of service of labour inspectors. Integrity of labour inspectors. Following up on its previous comments, the Committee welcomes the implementation of Decree No. 12/002 of 19 January 2012 on the establishment and organization of the “General Labour Inspectorate” (IGT) and the Government’s indication that the labour inspectorate has become a public service with administrative and financial autonomy. The Government also indicates that a committee to revitalize the inspectorate has been set up by Ministerial Order No. 007/CAB/MIN/ETPS/MBL/pkg 2013 of 24 January 2013, and that the plan for the inspectorate’s professional staff is under examination by the public service as part of the ongoing reform of the public administration.
The Committee notes that, according to section 28 of the above Decree, inspection staff are governed by special administrative regulations. The Committee further notes the CSC’s allegations concerning the corruption of a labour inspector. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide detailed information on the implementation of the reform of the general labour inspectorate and to provide a copy of the new organizational chart and of the plan for the inspectorate’s professional staff. It requests the Government to provide a copy of the special administrative regulations governing labour inspectors and specific information on their conditions of service (for example, remuneration, bonuses granted, etc.), both at central level and in the provinces, as compared to other categories of public servants performing similar duties.
With reference to its previous comments, the Committee asks the Government to provide specific information on the practical effect given to Act No. 81-003 of 17 July 1981 concerning inspectors engaged in parallel employment (for example, disciplinary proceedings brought, penalties applied, etc.).
The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
