The Director-General of the Civil Service Agency (CSA), Hon. Josiah F. Joekai Jr., is urging the Public Administration Sectorial team to develop a unique and practical strategy for the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID).

According to the CSA boss, the development plans are very critical, adding that one should seek to strengthen institutional capacity and ensure service delivery at all levels of government functionaries to ensure the enhancement of transparency and accountability to service delivery.
