The Section reiterates the importance of “ensuring the principle of rotation of the offices of public officials”
The Control Section of the Court of Auditors of the Aosta Valley has declared illegitimate a decree of the Region on the appointment of the consignee and substitute consignee of the Administration’s movable assets.
The two persons indicated in the decree had been appointed in 2011 and then confirmed in 2016. Last June they were confirmed once again «in contrast – says the Control Section – with article 9, first paragraph of Presidential Decree no. 254/2002, according to which the offices are renewed only once “in order to” ensure the principle of rotation of the offices of public officials, also in relation to the prevention of corruption within the relative offices “.
It matters little, writes the Control Section in its resolution, if the renewal of the offices for the third consecutive time took place “due to the turnover that affected the structure in the last year, as it was not possible to entrust the task to other staff “. The Administrations “should plan adequate (and timely) support activities, preparatory to the rotation”, explains the Section. In fact, “it is the Administration’s responsibility to allow not only the continuous training of the staff but also the adoption of adequate programming tools, which take into account the need to guarantee the rotation of offices in the twofold perspective, on the one hand, of the professional development of the staff and, on the other, the compression of the risk threshold of corruption, fatally facilitated by the experiential consolidation of individual subjects in specific sectors “.
