“I have earlier stated that my administration will not condone the culture of absenteeism, indolence, indiscipline and nepotism in the public service.
“We are working for the people, not the people working for us. We must value their time and respect their resources therefore lack of punctuality will not be accepted.”
He said that prudent management of public funds, transparency and accountability will be the guiding principles of his administration.
