Need for Decentralization in Decision Making
We have reached a level of development where we need quick decision
to be made and fast actions to be taken. Obviously, decision-making, being
centralised to few people at the top, is no longer practical; it must be made
by more people further down the line. For this reason, efforts must be made to
prepare such oficers for the tasks, which must be entrusted upon them based on
their competence to do so. In other words, the level of management in the civil
service must increase and the members, like their counterparts in the private
sector, must contribute their part towards the overall development of the state
and country. If they cannot maintain such balance they actually become the
obstruction to the private sector in playing their roles in development. It is
incumbent upon them to upgrade their capability in carrying out their duty to
ensure that they can move together in the same direction as the private sector.
