Public Service Commission and Association Of Public Accounts Committees Signs A Memorandum Of Understanding
30 June 2014
Today marks a historic moment for the Public Service
Commission (PSC) and Association of Public Accounts
Committees (APAC). We are therefore pleased to sign
a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between ourselves.
The purpose of the MoU is to enhance cooperation
between the PSC and APAC. Likewise, provide the basis
for cooperation between these two organisations in
order to lay the basis for seeking ways to complement
each other’s legal mandates and share technical
information and expertise.
The PSC seeks to promote the Constitutionally, enshrined
democratic principles and values of the Public Service
by investigating, researching, monitoring, evaluating, communicating
and reporting on public administration.
The APAC on the other hand, is an association recognised for
promoting credible public financial management, accountability
and good governance through effective collaborative legislative
oversight.
Some of the principles that will govern the MoU to be signed
include the following:
-
Each party recognises and
respects the governance structures and internal processes of the other.
-
Each party shall be transparent with
regard to planned activities that might potentially impact on the
work of the other party and the parties shall seek ways to
complement each other in the performance of their respective
functions.
-
The parties shall cooperate in
good faith and with honesty, integrity and professionalism, and
each party shall respect the other’s work (whether copyrighted
or not), findings and representations.
We are of the view that this relationship will be beneficial to both parties going forward.
Issued jointly by the Public Service
Commission and the Association of Public Accounts Committees
