The speaker also warned public servants to avoid emotional contact with the public, placing limits on technical and ethical intervention within their professional practice.
Likewise, he defended a greater approximation and reinforcement of interaction between public managers and collaborators, as it constitutes the key to harmony and success in administrative activity, which must also be marked by prudence in decision-making.
He also argued that, through its employees, public administration must base its actions on the principles and values of ethics, as the first step towards establishing a relationship of trust with society.
The lecture took place at the Instituto Superior de Ndalatando (ISPNd) and is part of IGAE’s strategy to increase professional ethics and deontology in public administration.
The act also aimed to reinforce cooperation between the institution and citizens, in favor of strengthening supervision and promoting complaints about the performance of managers and public institutions.
The event, witnessed by the Inspector General of IGAE, João Pinto, and the governor of Cuanza-Norte, João Diogo Gaspar, was attended by entities from the provincial government, authorities from municipal administrations, representatives of civil society and academia.
