Description

Public
Service Commission (PSC) The
PSC has the role of monitoring
and evaluating the public service.
The PSC has held workshops in
all provinces on the code of
conduct with over 500 people
being reached. The PSC has produced
a manual on how to implement
the code. The PSC encourages
departments to include the code
of conduct in their orientation
programme and amongst other
things, hold annual ethical
days to talk about values. It
is however up to provinces and
departments to implement and
take ownership of the Code of
Conduct. According to Dr. Baai,
the promotion of professional
ethics in public administration
is a 'new thing'.
