Ambassador Sefue added that the government through the President's Office for Public Service Management is taking audit of all ‘dependent agencies’ as its part of its agency evaluation 2011 policy.
According to the Chief Secretary, currently the government has 35 agencies, whose performance is in his words, ‘unsatisfactory’ adding that they failed to maximize the utility of availed resources. On the contrary, he accused the agencies of even lacking consideration for set laws, regulations and procedures.
