A new Code of Conduct for civil servants that takes into account changes in various laws of the country will be drawn up.
Public Service Commission chairman Josefa Serulagilagi says the new code will allow for a more modernised approach to service.
“Actually, the code of conduct is very important, it will bring together the civil service,” he said.
“We will try and modernise the way we operate – in most cases we still find that a lot of things are still behind in services that are delivered.
“This is why we would like to put in place a new code of conduct so civil servants know exactly the role they should play and what is expected of them in the code.”
The new code of conduct is one of the recommendations in the report that is being fine tuned by the People’s Charter National Advisory Council to be submitted to the Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama this week.
“We have the laws that are changing even now, there are more changes in the law now than what has happened in the past so the Code of Conduct needs to also fall in line with all these changes,” Mr Serulagilagi said.
