1) Does "Plugging the gaps" mean "filling the gaps"?
2) Does "remit" mean "personnel appointments"?
Context:
Plugging the gaps
In October 2014, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to establish a recording, communication and accountability system. This is intended to limit judicial intervention by government officials, and to integrate promoting the rule of law into the remit of officials at all levels. The system could restrain officials, and indeed the party itself, from advising judges on how to decide on court cases, including those pertaining to the EPL.

Yes, to plug a gap or hole is to insert something into it, a plug in fact.

'Remit' means 'task' or 'job specification'. The remit of the police is to fight crime and protect the public. The remit of an official is the totality of the expectations placed upon him or her by his job.
