After the trial period the officer should obtain a tenure conditioned by maintaining his/her qualification. Regular testing aimed at maintaining the qualification condition wage increases or can be a reason for wage reduction or dismissal. In order to be promoted to management functions, officers shall pass the necessary testing.
If public officers obtained a tenure conditioned by upkeeping their qualification, it would be possible that they maintained their integrity as well as expertise, and thus ensure a corruption-free public service of high quality level.
