Chairman: MPP staff to take integrity pledge
KUCHING: All levels of Padawan
Municipal Council (MPP) staff will be required tosign an integrity
pledge sometime next year in an effort to gain greater respect and
confidence from the public.
Its chairman Lo Khere Chiang and secretary Andrew Joris Noyen said this is in line with the state government’s transformation programme that emphasises integrity as part of the state civil service work culture.
“But before that we want them to fully understand what integrity is all about. There is no point of signing the pledge if they don’t even know the true meaning of integrity,” they said at a joint news conference at the council’s meeting room in Kota Padawan near here yesterday.
With that in mind, they said the council would heighten talks on integrity to create greater awareness among the staff in addition to what it had been doing.
“Today (yesterday) we organised Integrity Day for our staff to enhance the corporate governance accountability in all aspects of its conduct of delivery in MPP.
“We, in the council, fully support the effort of state government and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in combating graft and corruption in all government agencies and organisations,” they elaborated.
They hoped that by organising the MPP Integrity Day 2014 greater awareness would be created among its staff of the danger of graft and corruption.
“MPP is in the process of improving its delivery system by reducing red tape and reducing the time frame to process and complete certain projects in order to avoid corruption perception among the general public besides implementation of open tender in all MPP projects under its jurisdiction and to be more transparent by giving more space for participation by all eligible contractors,” they asserted.
They pointed out that Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Datuk Amar Adenan Satem, since taking over as chief minister, had repeatedly issued reminders to politicians and civil servants to uphold a high level of integrity for the state to transform.
“We feel that this vision and objective should be supported by everyone irrespective of race and background,” they added.
