The nation’s foremost civil servant has said it has come to his office public servants coming to work late and leaving before official closing time.
Noah Touray in a 28 October memo to all permanent secretaries said ‘these attitudes of public officers are not acceptable and heads of departments are required to address this in accordance with General Order 12209 and Public Service Commission Regulation 46’.
He then put the heads of departments thus: “Heads of MDAs are hereby put on notice that His Excellency the President will henceforth be embarking on unannounced visits to MDAs and heads whose staff are unjustifiable absent will be sanctioned.
“In the same vein, the Personnel Management Office is hereby requested to carry out routine inspections of MDAs in this regard and report any MDA found wanting.”
