Civil Servants have been urged to maintain political neutrality, to safeguard their tenure, ensure impartiality, and uphold the integrity of the civil service as the General Election approaches.
An Associate Professor of the Political Science of the University of Ghana, Professor Ransford Gyampo, who gave the advice, said that political neutrality of civil servants was imperative because they were the administrative machinery of the state.
He was delivering the 7th Nathan Anang Quao Lecture and Excellence Awards, organised by the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) on the theme: "The Weberian ideal of political neutrality among civil servants: A review of the situation in Ghana." The event was attended by representatives from Head of Civil Service, Local Government Service, civil society organisations and key players in the public sector.
