There are many people working in the government who do not care about their work. If you are entrusted with a position, you should give it all the care the position deserves. But all this [dysfunctionality] is happening because people know they can always get away with not delivering. Had it been otherwise and they know there would be consequences [for their ineptitude], they will be careful and do the right thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you appoint somebody and later realise that the person is not delivering or he or she doesn\u2019t have the efficiency to perform, before continue wasting taxpayers\u2019 money, you should ask the person to excuse himself or you transfer him somewhere else. So, it is important to have regular appraisals for government employees to ensure effective service delivery,\u201d Jammeh said.<\/p>\n<p>The respected grassroots politician said if any leader desires success, he should make constant monitoring and regular appraisals a pillar of his governance structure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou cannot appoint people and then allow them to do whatever they want because, at the end of the day, the blame comes back to you. The buck stops with you. This is why I want to appeal to President Barrow to pay attention to these things. There are many people serving in government who simply do not care,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The APRC NAM also raised concern about the lack of \u201cproper and sustainable measures\u201d to address seasonal floods in the country. He commended the government for offering relief to disaster victims but expressed his disappointment over the lack of efforts to address the root causes of the perennial floods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
