SG at the Services of the Prime Minister calls staff to order

An internal investigation revealed serious malpractices in the office. The SG, Louis Paul Motaze launched on Monday a two-week training to redirect his staff.

The exercise started in a conference room on the third floor of the General Secretariat of the Prime Minister's Office (PMS) on Monday.

Louis-Paul Motaze, during his speech, was interrupted for a minute by a worker who enters the room with heels making lots of noise.

She pulls the chair and sits opposite the Sg. "I do not want to stop the meeting because people are gathered," Louis-Paul Motaze said.

A few minutes ago he was complaining to the whole room "that the delay in time to open the seminar on results-based management is not right." In reality, these two incidents are only small facets of the serious malfunctions identified by an internal investigation within the administration.

"Lack of internal coordination of services, loss of office ethics and even improved management of human and financial resources" were enumerated by the SPM Secretary General in person.

These bad habits are due to "lack of internal coordination meetings at the services, lack of overall coordination meetings, dispersion error of coordination in work, lack of monitoring and evaluation of performance and more seriously, Louis Paul Motaze noted "disappearance of the meaning of the State which is expressed by the loss values of probity, career stagnation resulting in de-motivation of staff, failure to observe the principle of transversality of firms which has resulted in the confiscation and the instrumentalization of the folders for personal purposes, or yet unequal distribution of bonuses and representation in the technical bodies".

According to the SG, these derivatives shall bring no progress. To return to tradition and inculcate the culture of productivity in the staff, the higher Institute of public management will train the personnel at the Prime Minister’s services on results-based management from 15 to 24 June.

All categories concerned are technical advisers, those responsible for missions, those responsible for studies, Department heads, executives, office employees, Secretaries and drivers. "No pretext should be invoked to evade this training which I expect will bring about a significant change in behavior," instructed Louis Paul Motaze.
