Section 55 of the PERA Act 2024 deals with:

Under Section 55 of the PERA Act 2024, the law specifically addresses the Directives issued by the Government to the Authority and other relevant bodies operating under the Act. This provision ensures that the Government maintains a supervisory and guiding role over the implementation of the Act’s objectives and the overall functioning of the enforcement mechanisms.

The inclusion of Section 55 empowers the Government to issue formal policy directives, ensuring alignment of the Authority’s decisions and actions with national priorities, public interest, and administrative efficiency. These directives may cover matters of enforcement, operational policy, or inter-agency coordination, depending on what the Government deems necessary for the effective functioning of the PERA system.

Importantly, while the Authority enjoys administrative autonomy, Section 55 guarantees that this autonomy functions within the broader framework of Government oversight. It allows the Government to intervene constructively, ensuring that regulatory activities remain consistent with law, justice, and policy direction.
