1.10 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The civil service
has remained the bed-rock of modern government for the realization of
goals and objectives in order words, it has remained as a very veritable
instrument to sell government programmes to the public and to achieve
concrete result in order to improve on the lives or welfare of the
populace. Unfortunately the public service has been bedeviled with
misconduct.
For an illustration the present day public servants have
been guilty of dishonesty, drunkenness during official hours, false
claim against government, falsification or suppression or cards,
loitering, engaging in trade or business without authority, to mention
but a few. (Monoh 1988: 40).
Adebayo, (1994: 168), admitted that
indiscipline in the service had given room for inefficiency among the
public servants. He blamed both government and the public servants
themselves for this disease which had eaten deep into the fabrics of the
public service in Nigeria.
Again, indiscipline in the public service
has been used as major reasons to indict various government in our
country. Indeed, it has been responsible for the poor economy of our
nation. For instance, the inflation of contract award by the civil
servants, embezzlement of public fund, civil servants, engage in
political activities, they even go to the extent of disclosing
unofficial information and so on and so forth (Nnawuba, 1996: 15).
It
is point of fact that the civil service has a great role to play in the
lives of both of the greatest problems impediments to the smooth
administration of service is indiscipline. The researchers have
therefore been compelled to carry out a study on discipline in the
public service – a case study of ministry of Justice, Enugu.
