The National Assembly Service Commission (NASC), has launched a revised Code of Ethics for National Assembly Service Staff for a more disciplined service.
Executive Chairman of the commission, Ahmed Amshi presented the document at an event marking the 20th anniversary of the commission.
Amshi said that the launch of the revised document was necessary because the power to appoint, confirm, promote, dismiss and generally exercise disciplinary control over officers in National Assembly Service was vested in the commission.
“The Conditions of Service in use in the national assembly has provided for the rules and regulations governing the activities of the staff of the Service.
“But for the sake of emphasis, these are extracted to produce the booklet; Code of Ethics for National Assembly Service Staff”.
He said the commission was poised to building an excellent workforce that would provide support and expertise to the legislators in order to meet with the
challenges of good legislation for democratic governance and sustainable development.
The executive chairman further noted that in spite of COVID-19 pandemic, the commission had made modest achievements which include securing funds for NASC permanent office complex in the 2021 Budget adding that very soon, the commission would relocate to its permanent site.
Other achievements included; the
“Implementation of the National Minimum Wage for staff of the Service.”
Also speaking, Secretary to the Commission, Mr Lucky Ikharo, urged members of staff of the commission to be committed to duty
Another highlight of the event was presentation of awards to deserving staff including the Director, Public Affairs, Mrs Janet Mambula who got a commendation letter for excellence.
