Ruvuma Public Servants Urged to Maintain Integrity and Accountability

According to the Ruvuma Regional Secretariat, public servants across Ruvuma Region have been called upon to uphold integrity, accountability, and hard work in executing their duties to leave an honorable legacy in public service.

The source reported that this call was delivered during a farewell ceremony held at the Songea Club Hall to honor CPA Chediel Gwilenza, the former Head of the Accounting Unit, on completing his public service tenure. The event brought together various regional leaders and staff.

Speaking at the occasion, Ruvuma Regional Commissioner Brigadier General Ahmed Abbas Ahmed stated that public service is a calling requiring selflessness to serve others, underscoring that the public service journey demands patience, discipline, and commitment. He urged staff to remain ethical and diligent so as to earn community respect in their workplaces.

Regional Administrative Secretary Advocate Mary Makondo noted that the regional leadership recognizes and values CPA Chediel Gwilenza's contributions throughout his service, especially in ensuring public finances were managed in compliance with laws, regulations, and procedures for the public interest, the source stated.

Ethical and accountable regional public administration directly impacts public resource management and administrative support for development programs across Ruvuma, including in Tunduru District. This is TCDI context, not a statement by the source, and does not mean TCDI took part in what is reported.
