The PSC Vice chairman and Executive Coordinator KM teams discussed critical issues of mutual concern to the two institutions.
The Vice Chairman affirmed that the meeting was another opportunity for the PSC Commissioners and the PMO officers to familiarise themselves with the roles and responsibilities of the offices of the Executive Coordinators, as well as to establish first-hand information on pertinent issues affecting public servants and the operations of government institutions that would require Commission’s involvement to address the situation.
Mr. Musa O. Sanneh described the meeting as fruitful, interactive and educative.
Mr. Kemo Conteh a member of the Public Service Commission in his intervention explained that the effectiveness of the Executive Coordinator’s office must be based on the needs and aspiration of the communities within the Kanifing Municipality.

He used the opportunity to call on the councilors within the Kanifing Municipality to come forward and work with the Executive Coordinator’s office.
