Guarantees of the public employee during the administrative investigation (comparative study)

Abstract

The civil service has become the main lever that controls the state's course and determines its direction. It has also become the primary criterion for evaluating the state in terms of the quality of its performance, through employees who have become responsible for managing this rudder. Through their integrity, the state's administration is sound, and through their corruption, it is corrupted. Therefore, the state has drawn broad guidelines to protect its administration and preserve it from corruption and the misuse of corrupt employees by imposing the maximum penalties and disciplining them through the authority enjoyed by the bodies responsible for that authority, especially during the referral and investigation stages. This sometimes leaves them facing unfair decisions against some employees, especially if they have been wronged, or if the investigating authority did not exert the necessary efforts to contribute to uncovering the truth, or if the employee was not given sufficient opportunity to defend himself, or if the procedures are deficient. Therefore, it is the employee's right to obtain guarantees that the investigation is proceeding properly. Before we review these guarantees, it is more appropriate for us to clarify what is meant by a public employee, their rights and duties, and explain the concept of administrative investigation and the mechanism of administrative investigation procedures, followed by how to protect public employees during an investigation.
