Commission Backs Outcome Of Leak Investigation

Deputy Public Service Commissioner Heather Baggott today said she totally supports the Ministry of Health’s action in dealing with a public servant who leaked government information.

“The deliberate leaking of information is a political act which is incompatible with the neutrality requirements on public servants.”
