TO STOP CORRUPTION

EZULWINI – A core goal of the strategic road map is to end corruption and introduce a culture of excellence across all ministries where merit and delivery is rewarded.

This is a stance collectively taken by Cabinet and shall be their bible for the next five years, in a quest to redeem the country from the fiscal doldrums.
 In so doing, Cabinet assigned the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs led by Pholile Shakantu and the Ministry of Public Service, which is currently led by Christian Ntshangase, to be in the driving seat of this ideal.

The two ministries, through the assistance of other government departments and agencies, have been assigned to promote the culture of service excellence throughout the public service; strengthen organisational development; reinforce human resource development policies and implement change management approaches to change attitudes, behaviours and laissez-faire culture.

 Among the key pointers, they also have to improve industrial relations; build capacity in all courts; and qualify for MCC and Multilateral conditions for budget support. To this, some of the stakeholders that have been pin-pointed by government are public service associations (PSAs) – which are the human resource government uses to deliver its services.

The PSAs are: the National Public Service and Allied Workers Union (NAPSAWU); the Swaziland National Association of Teachers (SNAT); the Swaziland National Association of Government Accounting Personnel (SNAGAP) and the Swaziland Democratic Nurses Union (SWADNU).
In the quest to improve relations with PSAs, there are expectations that the engagement of the two parties will result in improved relations with civil servants. This would in turn assist Cabinet and principal secretaries to engage employees across the public service to identify areas of concern.
