As part of the Public Service Commission’s (PSC) countrywide 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 call during his institution’s meeting with the staff at the Governor’s offices and Regional Technical Advisory Committees (TAC) within Central and Upper River Regions.
Addressing civil servants in both regions, the PSC chairman called on civil servants to be innovative, hard work, and introduce successful ideas that will add new value to their work to deliver exceptional public service to the citizenry.
“We are out here to get first-hand information from you as heads of institutions about your work, key among are: challenges and achievements, and see how PSC and PMO can support you in solving those 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,” the PSC Chair explained.
He, therefore, urged the civil servants across the country to be innovative in their work, while explaining that Gambians need public servants that can give the government the image of integrity.
For their part, Governors for CRR and URR, Ousman Bah and Samba Bah assured PSC and PMO officials that their offices will maintain the 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.
