This is because the rules in the Instrument of Government (Chapter 12, Article 5) take priority over the entitlement to re-employment. It is stated in the Instrument of Government that, when decisions are made regarding government appointments, only objective factors such as merit and competence may be considered.
A government employer is always obligated to employ the one who is objectively most suitable for a vacant position, and may therefore post a job vacancy even though there may be an individual who has right of priority. In such cases, the right of priority only means that the one having that entitlement is automatically made co-applicant (that is, even without personally applying) for the vacant position. If more than one employee has claimed their right of priority, an order for re-employment must be established.
