Warm Welcome for the New Principal Secretary
Staff of the Ministry of Public Works welcomed the newly appointed Principal Secretary (PS) Ms.Tšepang Koele on Wednesday 18th August at the Ministry’s grounds in Maseru. In her remarks, Ms. Koele indicated that before joining the team, she was not aware that Public Works is a technical Ministry, she therefore pleaded with technocrats to advise the management accordingly for the betterment of the ministry and development of the country. The Principal Secretary further pledged her full support to both technical and support staff.
The new Principal Secretary was introduced to staff by the Deputy Principal Secretary Advocate Lesimole Moletsane. Advocate Moletsane in her welcoming remarks said managers and leaders exist because there are people to lead and manage, therefore they as managers should work hard to create a conducive environment so that staff could perform their work diligently. She further noted that civil servants are humble, easy to manage and ready to go extra mile when they are well taken care of.
The Principal Secretary noted that the Ministry is the backbone of the country’s infrastructure as roads and bridges play a significant role in connecting communities to services such as clinics and schools. In conclusion, she admitted that challenges would be there, but employees should not focus on that, instead they should take full responsibility, work as a team and celebrate their achievements.
When speaking on behalf of employees, Mr. Mosesane Pheko applauded the Principal Secretary for her encouraging words and pleaded with her to keep her doors open for staff so that it can be easy for them to consult.
