Accra (Greater Accra) 21 June '99

Pragmatic policies have been adopted to remove bureaucratic tendencies, apathy and laziness from the civil service, Dr Robert Dodoo, head of the service, said in Accra on Monday.

At a press conference to launch a programme of activities to mark the fifth anniversary of the Africa Day of Administration and Civil Service, Dr Dodoo said a new code of conduct/work ethics has been drawn up for the service.

The new ethics incorporate the principles of selflessness, integrity, justice and fairness, accountability, transparency and leadership.

He said the code would instil the appropriate standard of responsible behaviour and work habit to facilitate efficiency and effectiveness.

The activities for the week include commissioning of the Civil Servants' Association Office Complex, anniversary lecture and awards, seminar for women in the civil service, Moslem Prayers at Abossey Okai Mosque, and a thanksgiving service at the Wesley Methodist Church on June 27.
