GUIDANCE
AGAINST
ABSENT
OFFICERS

Early measures should be taken by Heads of Department/Supervisors through reproaching the absent public servants after conducting observations or offering advice so public servants always abide to working hours. If reproach and advice had been given by the Head of Department/Supervisor, but still the public servants committed the same offences, then immediate reports should be made to the relevant disciplinary authorities noted in these instructions.
The government is very serious in dealing with cases of absent public servants and this specific guide has been prepared to ensure that Heads of Department take the specified actions and implement disciplinary observations against absent public servants to ensure the absences do not perpetuate.
Under the Public Officers Regulations Act (Conduct and Discipline) 1993, any officer who fails to assert authority over his or her subordinates, or fails to take actions against his or her subordinates who violate any section of the law, shall be deemed negligent in performing his or her duties and is irresponsible, and disciplinary actions can be taken against him or her.
Effective actions by the Head of Department are expected to have immediate effect against this misconduct, where public servants do not report for duty, to thus contain this problem.
