As part of the Public Service Commission’s country-wide engagement with the executive coordinators and governors in the country, the chairman of the Public Service Commission (PSC) last week called for innovation and hard work within civil service.
Mr. Baboucarr Suwareh made this remark during his institution’s meeting with the staff at Governors’ offices and regional Technical Advisory Committees (TAC) within Central and Upper River Regions.
Addressing civil servants in both regions, the chairman called on them to introduce successful ideas that will add value to their work, “so that they can deliver exceptional public services to the citizenry”.
“We are out here to get first-hand information from you as heads of institutions in relation to your work, including challenges and achievements and see how PSC and PMO can support you in solving the challenges. We want to see more innovation and strategies applied to solve some of your challenges within civil service, because we are the appointing authority for civil servants into civil service,” he asserted.
He enjoined civil servants in the CRR and URR and the country in general to be innovative in their work, saying Gambians need public servants that can give the government the image of integrity.
“It is only when civil servants embrace innovation and strategies in their work that the country can make progress”.
For their part, Governors of CRR and URR, Mr. Ousman Bah; and Mr. Samba Bah, assured PSC and PMO officials that their offices will maintain highest level of performance for the betterment of their regions and the country in general.
During the meeting, various heads of institutions within the two regions highlighted their institution’s challenges, achievements and way-forward before PSC and PMO teams.
