The Public Service Commission (PSC) is tasked with ensuring administrative efficiency in all government departments. This week, the Standing Committee on Appropriations saw the PSC's presentation on the 2014 Appropriations Bill, where the issue of increasing departmental efficiency was discussed.
The PSC identified performance monitoring of Heads of Departments (HoDs) as a means of improving departmental efficiency. This involves a system of accountability, whereby HoDs enter into Performance Agreements (PAs) with the Minister of their respective departments, which are then filed with the PSC for a yearly evaluation. This process, in theory, should ensure that departments are working as efficiently as possible. But have HoDs been successfully monitored?
