PM Yang Prescribes Measures to Put an End to Rampant Leakages of Official Docs and Info

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.
