The Deputy Prime Minister dwelt on the challenges of working in a changing environment and called for the officers to learn to adapt very rapidly, to be part of change and accept it as an opportunity to move forward. He also asked the professional and technical staff to encourage young graduates to join the service. Fairness, respect and independence are key ingredients that will improve the image of the public sector in the eyes of the young generation, he said. Dr. Beebeejaun also expressed his satisfaction regarding the introduction of program based budgeting in ministries and departments which he said is an important step towards the improvement of quality of service and customer's satisfaction.
