Can I file a complaint for an external appointment with the Board?

No. The Public Service Commission has the authority to investigate external appointments, concerns related to possible political influence or fraud in a selection process or an internal appointment where appointment authority has not been delegated.

If the Commission is satisfied that the appointment was not made or proposed to be made on the basis of merit, or that there was an error, an omission or improper conduct that affected the selection of the person appointed or proposed for appointment, the Commission may revoke (or not make) the appointment, and take any corrective action that it considers appropriate.
