Retired Principal Secretaries (PSs) have launched a support group which they are calling the Association of Retired Principal Secretaries.
It seeks to harness their diverse skills and expertise to contribute to national development through public administration and public service delivery.
It is also expected to facilitate their active participation and involvement in the social development of the country as well as improve the retired secretaries’ welfare.
The organisation was formally launched at the Malawi School of Government on Tuesday in Lilongwe.
Janet Banda, Deputy Secretary to the President and Cabinet, said the association will provide an organised pool of well-trained former principal secretaries who can be considered for roles such as high commissioners and ambassadors, among others.
Banda said services which will be provided by the grouping will enhance public sector enablers for the successful implementation of the Malawi 2063.
