NATIONAL MOTTO IS BENCHMARK OF ETHICAL LEADERSHIP: PROF. KEITH

Professor Walker said the national motto is important to ensure public servants perform their roles for the good of all Solomon Islands citizens.

“This motto it said “To Lead Is To Serve,” I’ve never seen that in another country before. That’s an umbrella, that says here’s If I want to stay safe I stay under that umbrella. If I want to do right, do justly, be honourable, be faithful, be diligent, I stay under that umbrella and that’s a protection that you are in the service of your country. What an honour, what a great thing to have an umbrella like that a protection.”

Meanwhile, the Permanent Secretary for Public Service Nego Sisiolo said the Ministry appreciates Professor Walker’s leadership presentation.

“Professor Kieth it is not often that we get the opportunity to listen to and to interact with people of your calibre. Therefore, please note that this is a treasured opportunity for the Ministry of Public Service and the public service who are here to listen to someone of authority to speak on the topic of leadership.”
