In Colombia it is the supposed program of appointing the best prepared to do so in public office. In theory the promotion in the administrative career is achieved with merits and not with levers.
It is a neologism to appoint a government of the fittest, of the best prepared among several. It joins the word merit with the suffix of the Greek 954; 961; 945; 964; 959; 962; ( "power, government" kratos).
