Malawi School of Government to open for public servants

Government is set to open Malawi School of Government in a bid to enforce efficiency and stop the culture of theft of public money by civil servants and public officers.

Professor Golden Silumba of Malawi Institute of Management (MIM) said MIM and Staff Institute Development at Mpemba are champions of the government school project.

“It’s part of the reforms. We want to make the civil service more efficient and effective,” said. Silumba.

He said a bill for the setting up of the school has already been drafted, saying once it is passed into law, the school will now be operational.

Silumba said the school will instill professionalism in civil servants for best public service delivery.

On the other hand, the school will enforce ethical standards among civil servants to stop the rampant theft and abuse of public money and resources by civil servants.

This is the first school of its kind in the country.
