Prime Minister Philemon Yang has issued
a circular letter to the decentralized territorial units’ officials and to the
managing directors of public institutions and companies warning that “break
time is over” to those who leak sensitive documents and information in the
social. In the circular which was signed on March 29, 2018, Prime Minister
further emphasized that in defiance of the rules in force, government
institutions and companies’ confidential document and information were
regularly disclosed to an unauthorized public. He added that because of the
vulgarization of the internet and new electronic communication tools, the dissemination
of this info was accentuated.
According to the minister, apart from
compromising the efficiency of public actions, this constitutes serious harms
to the security of the state which is increasingly confronted with multifaceted
security threats.
Also, to put an end to this, the
minister advises the officials to ensure that public agents respect the
professional discretion required by the civil service regulation. The PM urged
that public agents suspected of violation of the professional discretion
obligation should face the competent disciplinary commission. He also advised
them to place only people with an unquestionable decency in their services’
mail processing chain.
