GLUTTONOUS EATERS OF MEAT

A SAVINGRAM from the Directorate of Public Service Management (DPSM) directed to civil servants couldn’t have arrived at the right time.

Yours truly has witnessed our government employees in action where food is concerned. It is not surprising to hear that they order 1kg yoghurts and family meals of 21 pieces of chicken.

This is actually the norm even when they are not using imprest. Just go to any government activity during lunch time and watch gluttony in action. Still beats me as to why one would want to have two pieces of chicken, fish, pork, beef stew, oxtail, rice, samp, porridge, wedges and butternuts in one plate. How embarrassing to see government officers walking gingerly back to their tables with gravy dripping from the plate, and chicken drumsticks barely hanging on. It’s disgusting. Shaya and DPSM encourage officers to eat reasonably.
