Auditors, Integrity Officers Placed In All Ministries - Abdul Rahman

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 9 (Bernama) -- The government takes integrity among civil servants seriously and has taken proactive measures by placing auditors and integrity officers in every ministry to monitor and assess staff performance, said Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad.

He said integrity is a regular topic in post-Cabinet meetings to ensure good governance remains a priority in the administration.

“That is why each ministry has auditors and integrity officers to assess the performance of civil servants.

“And I believe that the initiatives implemented by the Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) himself on governance show that integrity is of great importance to us,” he said. 

He made the remarks at a press conference following the launch of the Congress of Union of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) Triennial Congress at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) today, which was also attended by Cuepacs president Datuk Dr Adnan Mat.

Commenting on the union’s role, Abdul Rahman described Cuepacs as an important bridge connecting civil servants with the government.

“...Cuepacs is at the heart of civil service operations and is highly flexible, balancing the demands of its members with the priorities of the government,” he said.
