Problems of the Civil Service:

Among the problems that confront the Civil Service are

(i) Insufficient Funding: The necessary funds required by each ministry to discharge its duty and functions are always grossly inadequate.

(ii) Poor Leadership And Management Of Resources In The Civil Service: Leadership may lack focus and vigour, some allow biased and personal interest to affect their effectiveness. Some are wasteful and lack prudence in resource management.

(iii) Bribery And Corruption: Bribery and Corruption have infected the Civil Service heavily. It takes different forms and levels. There is corruption in recruitment when merit is sacrificed to the altar of favouritism. Failure to discharge one’s duties without inducement, collection of a 10% cut in the award of contracts, etc.
