I love de statement from MMC Chacu dat they should have been known it better dan someone else who never been employed by de state, now this tells u dat there is a strong policy document dat all public servants should know & follow regarding how should they conduct themselves as public servants & the use of state resources. This policy document is presented to all public servants on the first month of employment & usually it is done during induction period before employees start to work.
