Military training for civil servants

Military training for civil servants

DILI, East Timor: The provincial administration has introduced
basic military training courses for its employees in a move to
strengthen their discipline.

Governor Abilio Jose Osorio Soares warned that those who
refused to take part in the course would be expelled, Antara
reported.

"The basic military training is not intended to 'militarize'
civil servants. It is intended to teach them discipline," he said
when launching the course for the first group on Monday.

Discipline should be part of civil servants' attitude and
behavior, he said. (rms)
