Terminating The Public Employee's Service Due to Lack of Health Fitness and Proven Drugs Abuse or Addiction in The Light of The Criminal and Civil Service Laws in Egypt and Saudi Arabia

The research dealt with the issue of terminating the public employee's service due to lack of health fitness and proven drugs abuse or addiction in the light of the criminal laws and the civil service laws and regulations in the Egyptian and Saudi laws as well as a presentation of some of the modern judicial applications issued by the administrative judiciary in the two legal systems. The findings of the study show that both the Egyptian and Saudi legal systems have criminalized drugs abuse. Both have established dedicated addiction treatment institutions with specific controls following anti-drug laws. The Egyptian and Saudi laws necessitate the availability of the health fitness of the public employee as a condition of appointment and a condition for continuing in the public post. The research proposed some recommendations, including the recommendation of the Egyptian law to explicitly consider the humanitarian aspects when convicting the public employee of drug abuse or addiction.
