INTRODUCTION
Ethical conduct in the Public Service revolves
around a number of core values and
behavioural standards namely integrity,
honesty, objectivity, impartiality, loyalty,
respect, accountability, excellence,
confidentiality and selflessness.
•Adherence to these core
values would create a public
service that is responsive to
the needs of the Zambian
people.
INTEGRITY
This refers to putting the obligations of the
public service above one’s personal
interests, and conducting oneself in a
manner that is beyond reproach. In this
regard public service employees shall:
Discharge their functions reasonably and
according to law;
Comply with ethical standards governing
their profession.
Not accept gifts, rewards or hospitality or
receive benefits of any kind from any
person or organisation which might
compromise, or reasonably be seen to
compromise one’s personal judgement or
integrity.
