OPC orders top officials to update staff records, urges transparency
The Office of the President and Cabinet has notified principal secretaries and department heads about plans to update staff records for all officers from Grade E/P4 and above. Human Resource Officers will visit government offices to collect documents such as appointment letters, promotion letters, service cards, and confirmation letters.
Heads of departments must also state each officer’s employment terms, whether permanent, pensionable, or temporary. The OPC described this as a normal government procedure aimed at improving record-keeping and accountability.
National Anti-Corruption Alliance Chair Michael Kaiyatsa welcomed the move but warned against using it to target specific staff, urging transparency and fairness. Staff are expected to fully support the process to ensure records are updated smoothly.
