must take place. I am happy to say because of our co-
operation and initiatives of our own civil service, this
has not happened to us. But you must understand that

service but they want those services quickly. Because of
that therefore, you have to develop a kind of antenna
on the ground. That means the outlook of the civil
service has got to be changed to that of being sensitive
to political changes, although you don’t take sides in
politics, and also to understand the aspirations of your
political masters, who try to gather all the changes and
the attitude of the people on the ground to become the
component of interaction that you have to undertake
when you do the process of changes in the civil service.
Politicians have also to realize they are the

or aspirations among our people. They must also understand the
civil service so that the civil service do not lose conidence on their
ability to cope with the change. If we just say I do not care what
the civil service say, this must be done like this, this must be done
like that, that cannot be accepted any more. You cannot just say I
want it done, I don’t care
how you do it because we
