Prime Minister, Commodore Frank Bainimarama said outsourcing some functions of the PS would lead to significant improvements in the standard of service delivery over the next four years.
Commodore Bainimarama said it was essential to have clear policy guidelines in place for outsourcing. He said the policy would help reduce expenditure, make more resources available for capital expenditure and encourage private sector growth.
The Prime Minister’s announcement came as the Permanent Secretary of the Public Service Commission, Parmesh Chand described the Fijian Public Service as too big.
Mr Chand said as of 31 March 2010 there were 26,925 Public Servants in Fiji.
He said one of the main problems in the PS was its inability to meet the expectations of the public due to a lack of established service standards, ineffective work systems, poor leadership, lack of transparency and low productivity.
Mr Chand said the Government planned to cut the public sector back to the right size by restructuring, modernising human resource management and remuneration, rebuilding the capacity of the Public Service and introducing e-governance.
“At the moment, we are trying to address the issues, compulsory training of civil servants is continuing on all levels as well as the resizing of the sector,” he said.
