Deomocracies cannot thrive sans public trust: CM Murad

Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said that without unwavering trust of public it is difficult for democracies to thrive, therefore, it is crucial to provide efficient service delivery and good governance directly to the people to rebuild their confidence.

“If public does not support public servants, it should serve as a warning for them to work with conviction and personal commitment,” he said while speaking at the graduation ceremony of the participants of the 35th Senior Management Course (BS-19 officers), who have completed their 16-week long course on Friday at this prestigious National Institute of Management (NIM), Karachi.

The CM congratulated all 38 officers, including two female participants, for completing their course. He said that opting for public service as a profession was more of a personal choice and voluntary commitment than a mundane occupation.

Shah said that the government would continue to own the NIM Karachi as our very Institute, and would further strengthen linkages and collaborate with it, and extend all necessary support for the fulfillment of professional needs of the participants as much as possible.

He said requirement for promotion to BS-20 positions has provided all the officers with a platform to update their knowledge base and brush up their skills, enabling them to address policy issues and service delivery challenges.
