“From now onwards, staff who absent themselves from work will not be validated and we are going to ensure strict compliance,” he warned.

Alhaji Inusah issued the warning when he addressed managements and staff of the Nabdam and Bolgatanga East District Assemblies as part of his familiarization visit for firsthand information on the progress of work at the various Assemblies.

He observed that even though some staff absented themselves from work without due permission, Human Resource (HR) Managers at the respective Assemblies validated such staff as the HR Managers themselves were guilty of the same crime.

He entreated all local government staff to be punctual, and work diligently to support the vision of the Regional Minister to rebrand the Region.

The RCD reminded staff that the functions of the Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) were to coordinate the activities of the District Assemblies, monitor and evaluate their performance.

He said as part of the local government performance system, the Performance Contract signed between the Coordinating Directors and the District Chief Executives must be supported by all staff for the Municipality and District Assemblies to succeed.
