As part of this year's celebration of the Civil Service Week, the Registrar General's Department organised an open day to educate the public on the activities of the company.
The event, which is on the theme '' Improving Service Delivery to Promote Ghana beyond Aid'' provided a platform for the Civil Service to engage the public and private sector, and identify potential areas of collaboration.
Mrs Joanna Des-Bordes Acquah, a staff at Marriage Unit Department in an interview with the Ghana News Agency said the public had misconceptions that, civil service workers were lazy, urging the citizenry to change the negative perception about them.
She said, as part of the programme, selected staff from the various departments were sent out to Tema Station to educate the public on what they do at their departments in terms of registration of marriages, businesses and estates execution.
The Ghana Civil Service under the auspices of the Office of the President started the celebration on Monday 4, and will climax the event with an awards night on Friday November 8, 2019.
The programme also seeks to recognise the strategic importance of employees of the Civil Service to national development, and to honour their dedicated and selfless service to the public and citizens of Ghana.
