THE Public Service Commission (PSC) has said all civil servants are expected to disregard calls for a stayaway by some rogue elements and report for duty tomorrow.In a statement released tonight, the PSC said recent calls for a stayaway from work or regular activities on 22 and 23 April should be disregarded.
“The Commission is confident that public servants, who are committed, disciplined and fully aware of their responsibilities, will not be misled by such reckless and disruptive incitements.
“Public servants are reminded that their core mandate is to serve the people of Zimbabwe faithfully, diligently, and without interruption.”
The Commission said participation in any stayaway that disrupts service delivery constitutes a dereliction of duty and an act of insubordination.
“Such actions are unpatriotic, undermine national unity, damage the economy, and hinder the collective progress of the nation. The Public Service Commission will not tolerate any conduct that threatens the stability and functionality of public institutions.
“All public servants, except those on duly authorised leave, are expected to report for duty at their designated workstations, observe normal working hours, and, where necessary, work beyond official hours in fulfilment of their duties.
“Accounting officers are hereby instructed to ensure that attendance registers are completed for their Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, including devolved structures.
“Commission Inspectors will collect these registers at the usual time each day for the purposes of enforcing appropriate public service regulations without delay,” the Commission said.
