Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Nana Kwasi Agyekum-Dwamena, the Head of Civil Service, has urged administrators of both public and private institutions, departments, and agencies to speak truth to power without fear or favour.<\/p>\n

He said administrators and politicians are like a marriage of convenience, \u201cwe need to be a bit more resilient, understanding, agree and disagree on issues focusing on the national interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Agyekum-Dwamena was speaking at the fourth annual Admin Professional Conference of the Chartered Institute of Administrators and Management Consultants-Ghana, on the topic: \u201cAdmin Professionals in the success of Ghana\u2019s public Management Reform.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said such an approach was one of the principles that would help turn the fortunes of their organisation and Ghana towards the socio-economic development the country had been thriving for.<\/p>\n

Speaking on \u201cContemporary Issues in Administration: The Strategic Perspective\u201d he said administrators should take cognisance of the link between performance and results knowing the terms of reference, objectives, and impacts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do give advice a lot, we do strategies a lot but more often than not we emphasise performance and we turn to leave the impacts and results,\u201d the Head of the Civil Service said.<\/p>\n

He urged them to set targets in managing accountability, where they would make accountability more personal and individualistic to help check and identify underperformance.<\/p>\n

Ehunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI, the Chairman, Board of Trustees, Chartered Institute of Administrators and Management Consultants \u2013 Ghana, said administration had changed over the decades with a significant amount of technology incorporated into administrative practices.<\/p>\n

He called on the administrators to embrace all necessary skills and technologies in achieving the optimal results in their planning, analyses and time scale since the profession was becoming much less rigid and rule oriented.<\/p>\n

\u201cContemporary administration is necessarily concerned with all fields of knowledge equipped to meet the full satisfaction of the customer. It has evolved into robust, dynamic members of the organisational team serving as the hub around which all activities of the organisation move,\u201d the Chairman said.<\/p>\n

Dr Ishmael Yamson, the Chairman for the Conference, admonished the administrators to always show commitment of excellence, professionalism, and responsibility in public and private circles since they all aimed at creating value for the State.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you are producing goods and providing a service in the public or private sector, at the end of the day you must deliver value to this country. If you are doing something that has no value you are of no importance to this economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Yamson urged them to exercise care in everything they would do, provide services and good with speed because the world had changed and the drivers of the economies of the world thrive on speed and getting it right.<\/p>\n
