Dear Chief Secretary,
The 'Sunday Interview" published in a NST of 24 Jun 2012 refers.
To a question: "It is said which a little civil servants have been being influenced by promises done by a opposition. What do we have to say about this?"
You answered:"They should know better. Don't be taken in by dull promises.As civil servants we contingency be constant to a King as well as offer a supervision of a day."
If we had only stated, "As civil servants we contingency be constant to a King as well as offer a supervision of a day",no one would have had means to pick a bone. This would have obviously underscored a principal element of domestic neutrality upon which a Public Service is founded in a system of parliamentary democracy. This is Public Administration 101 which we read as a Cadet PTD Officer during INTAN in 1981.
we am certain by right away we have been wakeful of a grave inapplicable designation we have committed in resolutely pronouncing a initial dual sentences! A Freudian Slip perhaps, though nonetheless, a damaging one since your prominent in front of as a Number 1 Public Servant!
Be which as it may, we am assured as a career public servant we will reflect upon this in a rational demeanour as well as reassure a People which a Public Service underneath your able stewardship will act in an just as well as veteran manner, henceforth.
we ! believe during a little point, in a course of a subsequent 12 months a domestic neutrality of all public servants, in discharging their onerous duties, will certainly be tested. Given a imminent GE13 we will need to prepare public servants to face a luck of shift of Federal and/or State government(s).
You need to do dual things starting now.
One, as a Chairperson of a Secretaries- General as well as Heads of Services Meeting, we need to reaffirm as well as remind which a element of domestic neutrality contingency be inspected during all times, without fear or favour. In turn, all Service Heads including a Army as well as Police Chiefs, as well as all State Secretaries contingency be educated to communicate this important summary to their respective personnel.
Two, we need to devise for a well-spoken transition of power post GE13. In this regard we will be most appropriate advised to investigate how a Civil Service of a United Kingdom prepared itself for all possible scenarios post Election 2010 in a UK. For serve information upon how admirably a UK Civil Service prepared as well as subsequently conducted itself in managing a arrangement of a Coalition Government in a UK greatfully see couple below:-
we sincerely goal we will take a necessary steps to put in place a extensive set of rules as well as procedures which would reassure a People which a integrity of a approved polity would not be compromised!
Lastly, we indicate which all send of power plans as well as guidelines be done public prior to GE13 so a People do not have to assume upon outcomes.
The ball is during your feet. we am assured we will broach to a highest veteran standards which all Public Servants contingency adhere to as prescribed underneath a Public Service Code of Conduct! , as wel l as as enshrined in a Federal Constitution.
The People expect no less!
- The People's Parliament
