DG Tucker enlightened that the Government of President Bio is committed to citizens-centered reforms and legislations thus, the need for such a document – to address the present day administration of civil servants.
Delving further on the revised Civil Service Code and Rules, DG Tucker informed that this document has three additional chapters such as *Chapter (11) Provincial Administration, Chapter (13) Work Ethics, conflict of Interest and whistleblowing and Chapter (14) Gender Mainstreaming* which are very essential necessity for the efficient and inclusive civil service administrative in Sierra Leone.
