He urged participants to embody core values such as honesty, integrity, accountability, and loyalty to public interest over personal gain.
Bowale explained that the training was designed to help staff build public trust, prevent misconduct, and effectively support the government’s good governance agenda.
He instructed the workers to be diligent in their duties, treat the public with fairness and respect, and avoid any conflicts of interest.
