Do's and Don'ts for Public Officers

[Zahid-Ikram]

A list of "Dos" for Public Officers

1. Report any corrupt overtures.

2. Confine your relationship with members of the public who have
official dealings with you to an official basis to avoid allegation of
favouritism.

3. Declare your interest in the business of any companies on account
of yourself/family. Disqualify yourself from supervising the projects
involved.

fairly without fear or favour.

5. Acquaint yourself with the provisions of the Prevention of
Corruption Act and the policies and instructions of the department
governing the conduct of officers.

wish to do.

7. Always be loyal to and have the best interest of the department at
heart.
