Applicants must disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest. Appointment requires qualification, employment, antecedent and character verification, and an Integrity and Vigilance Declaration. False or suppressed information can cancel candidature or appointment. Debarred, blacklisted or relevantly convicted candidates are ineligible under the notice.
