By Waakhe Simon Wudu JUBA, 20th July 2011 [Gurtong] - The Ministry of Public Service of the Government of South Sudan, has warned civil servants in the government institutions over unreasonable visits considered by the Ministry as a hindrance in delivering effective services. While addressing civil servants in South Sudan Hotel yesterday, Mr. Daniel Aroyuen Secretary of Recruitment Board at the Ministry of Public Service Juba said that, the Ministry has learnt that unnecessary visits into government offices by friends and relatives has become a common culture that affects effective service delivery. “It blocks the servants from pursuing their daily routines as they attend to them instead of doing office work,” Daniel told Gurtong media in an interview. He cautioned that, “friends and relatives who do not have official business to conduct should not visit you during working hours,” he told the servants. Daniel directed that, “the receptionist should offer forms for appointment to the visitors to clearly state their reasons of visits. If it is not official then they should be barred from entering the premises.” He also cautioned and urged the civil servants that, “you should limit these visits through using the receptionist, if it’s difficult to do it alone.” Daniel reminded the civil servants that the Republic of South Sudan has a task to build and develop in order to fulfill the expectations of the people who tirelessly struggled to vote for Independence. While launching the new currency on Monday in Juba, President Salva Kiir cautioned his leadership and the citizens that, ‘voting for independence is a vote to work hard.’ Posted in: Home Comments RSS comment feed 20/07/2011, 9:20 AM - Posted by Jacob Akol Daniel Aroyuen is 100% correct. Those of us who come from the West who have come to appreciate that "time is money" and should not be wasted fill embarrassed when visiting government officials in South Sudan whose offices are full of relatives or friends just chatting. This habit must stop immediately or such officials lose their jobs for wasting public time! Add Comment Log in to post a comment. If you are not a Gurtong member yet, register here.
