      The people who should be working on the appointments have other responsibilities that they consider more urgent? Obsolete or otherwise problematic requirements make it difficult to find suitable candidates? Candidates who are suitable refuse the positions when offered?

      (More than likely it’s just the usual combination of outright screwups with childish bureacratic infighting, though.)
