Civil Service Needs Sweeping Reforms

A serious discussion on long pending Civil Service Bill 2024 seems to have picked up now. The lawmakers and civil servants unions have riveted their attention to thrash out the much critiqued issue relating to trade unionism that has pervaded and stalked the civil service organisation in the country. It is no mere coincidence that the lawmakers across the political divides and public administration experts as well have called unanimously for cleaning the civil bureaucracy and bar the political parties to fragment the civil servants through politicised bureaucracy aligned to partisan groups. Though civil servants have stood together to resist the call, the lawmakers reportedly seem determined to give a stronger push to clear the civil bureaucracy of the partisan groups which have fragmented and polarised the civil servants along the partisan orientation.
