Public Service Commission

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Public Service Commission (PSC) is a governing body that regulates the rates and services of a public utility, or other entities.

In Fiji for example, the PSC reviews government statutory powers to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in meeting public sector management objectives. It also acts as the human relations department, or central personnel authority, for the citizens interaction with the government.
