The Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations has directed all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to install a clocking system at their work places to ensure punctuality and diligence at work.
A press statement issued by the Ministry noted that � most MDA�s punctuality to work is poor while workers leave the work places for home earlier than the specified time�
It further observed that �some public servants spend greater part of their productive time on activities other than specified public service duties.�
This, according to the Ministry, � is a major contributor to the low productivity in the public service� and greatly contributes to the �worsening economic challenges� in the country.
The Ministry therefore ordered Chief Directors, Chief Executives, Heads of Departments, and Supervisors to ensure that punctuality and diligence are promoted at work.
� It is our anticipation that there will be full cooperation by all to improve punctuality and diligence at work places and hence lead to increased productivity in the public sector,�it said.
