The job security afforded to an estimated one million public servants working on permanent and pensionable basis will be cancelled from July this year by a new tool of measuring performance at the workplace.

The tool, which will be introduced by the Public Service Commission (PSC), dismantles the notion that as long as a permanent and pensionable worker does not violate any law, they can laze around and wait for their pension upon attaining the age of 60.
