Noting that government cannot function without public servants, Minister of State Joseph Harmon yesterday said that all efforts are being made to create a “strong and powerful” public service with attention being paid to training and creating links to the public though Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

Delivering the key note address at the opening ceremony of the 21st Biennial Delegates’ Conference, Harmon speaking on behalf of President David Granger said that the public service sector will be reformed to ensure that it is the best that it can be.

“You are the most important national institution with a large footprint and you discharge a very crucial function in our national life; the delivery of public service to our citizens,” he told the delegates. He described the public service as “the government”, as the country cannot function without it
