Public servants told to lift performance

PUBLIC servants in Ambunti-Dreikikir district, East Sepik, have been told to improve their performance.
District administrator Otto Ganaii warned them he would not tolerate any slackness.
Ganaii, who was re-appointed last month by Ambunti-Dreikikir MP Tony Aimo, warned the public servants at the opening of the district’s first consultative meeting in Wewak yesterday.
The meeting, sanctioned by Aimo, was to get all LLG managers, sectional heads and important stakeholders to review the district’s 10-year development plan so that important pro­jects needed by the people were delivered in the next five years.
“I will not tolerate any nonsense from public servants, your days of resting is over. Now you must put your feet on the ground and make this plan achieve its purpose,” Ganaii said.
“Many of the pro­jects in our 10-year development plan (‘bible’) of 2008-17 were not achieved in the past five years because of your slackness.
“Therefore, we will go through this ‘bible’ in the next four days, assess our failures and set the projects in order of priority and pursue them to ensure that objectives  are achieved.
He said officers must be accountable, transparent and free from corruption because there was no room for public servants to muck around under his administration.
“I further urge you, the public servants to put aside your political affiliation because there’s no time for politics.
“It’s time to deliver service and we must now make a change for our district.”
