Secretary to the President and Cabinet (SPC), Colleen Zamba, says there are still issues in procurement and financial management in the civil service that needs to be addressed.
Zamba said this on Friday at Malawi Institute of Management (MIM) where she held a meeting with Principal Secretaries in Ministries, Departments and Agencies under her vision of restoring the dignity of the civil service in terms of performance and efficiency.
“One of the objectives as charged by the President is the optimal use of resources, both financial and human. I have already discussed with the Director General of Public Procurement to have a session with the PSs where they should be taken through their responsibilities, because as controlling officers they are answerable even to the Public Accounts Committee on the way resources are used,” she said.
Zamba expressed hope that frequent interaction with the PSs will help effective implementation of the national development agenda saying the civil service is the centre nerve in the implementation of the national development agenda.
