President Mnangagwa yesterday implored civil servants to be loyal to Government and fulfil its policies that are derived from the ruling party, Zanu PF’s manifesto following its victory in last year’s harmonised elections.

The President said this at the launch of the Public Service Strategic Plan at the Harare Institute of Technology.
The Public Service Strategic Plan will run up to 2020.

“As the civil service you are expected to stringently comply with the spirit and letter of the principles of good public administration as outlined in Chapter 9 of our Constitution,” he said.

“Equally, loyalty to this administration must be unequivocal and unflinching. We are a Government born out of an election process and the resultant victory of a particular party, which is Zanu-PF. It is, thus, integral that we are alive to the political manifesto of the ruling party and seek to facilitate the achievements of the programmes articulated therein.

“Residual resistance that deters public service delivery and unduly delays the turnaround of our economic plight will not be tolerated.”
He said the days of coming up with rosy policy documents that are not implemented was over.

“All personnel and ministries, departments and agencies at various levels, must individually unpack the contributions they must make and evident milestones which must be achieved towards the attainment of the Vision 2030.

“The era of producing glossy strategic plan documents which achieve very little at implementation is now behind us. We shall know and judge you by your works,” President Mnangagwa said.State media
