Nkroful (W\/R), Sept. 15, GNA-The Western Regional Minister, Mr Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, has advised civil servants to lend the required support to the private sector to grow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He, therefore, encouraged Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies to partner with the private sector to develop their local economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need to create the enabling environment for the private sector to partner with local authorities to develop and sustain businesses,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Darko-Mensah was addressing public and civil servants in the Nzema-East and Ellembelle Districts as part of his three-day working tour of the Nzema area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The move, he noted, would help create jobs and reduce poverty through mobilisation of local, natural and human resources as well as value addition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Western Regional Coordinating Director, Mr Frederick Agyemang, who accompanied the Regional Minister, advised Civil and Public Servants in the Western Region to maintain higher ethical standards in their work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He, therefore, warned civil servants who leak information to the public and the media to halt the practice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Coordinating Director said the act was against the public service rule which every civil servant took an oath to protect and abide with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Agyemang stated that the law would deal with those who flouted the civil service rule of confidentiality.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He told them that as civil servants they were implementers of government flagship programmes, adding \u201cso you do not have to deliberately fight against government policies and programmes\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He admonished the public servants to be punctual at work and ensure that they submitted their quarterly reports required of them to the Regional Coordinating Council on time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
