Sir: Human resources and good governance experts are of the opinion that it is a sine qua non to apply sanctions uniformly and impartially against all public servants who ridicule or break the code of ethics.
It also pays to extend incentives to good performers but unfortunately it happens otherwise in our unjust and discriminatory society, where many organisations at the federal level are being run without employees service rules and avenues for their career growth.
Incentives need not necessarily be material benefits or cash rewards; a letter of commendation could also suffice. In Pakistan, good performers are never rewarded with incentives (so much so good performers are not even promoted to the next grade after the passage of fourteen years in the same grade) to boost their morale so that they could be encouraged to maintain their good conduct.
When public servants realise that it does not really pay to be a good and disciplined worker, they lose motivation to maintain their good record. Here the corrupt to the core and flatterers are considered fit for incentives and also promotions.
