Kia orana and warm greetings from Team OPSC.
Welcome to our newly constructed, and long overdue, website.
I hope it provides a window through which you will acquire a personal insight into our professional commitment to our people through dedicated service.
There is no greater honor than the priviledge to serve as the Public Service Commissioner of the Cook Islands. Over time, we will avail all the information on this site on our work, our organisation, our workfoce, our people and our collective aspirations as a nation to build a public service that best serves our country's needs.
We have this week commenced a review of the entire 'machinery of government' as it has operated since the reform of 1995/96. It is hoped that this will provide the foundation to correct anomalies that have continued to haunt the service over the last 12 years but institute a public service that espouses as its most sacred principle, the vow to serve our country and our people with commitment, loyalty and honesty.
To paraphrase a famous adage, "to err is human, to learn from that error is devout". We confess that the only road to constructive progress for our public service, is that we openly welcome your views, comments, feedback and suggestions. To this end, we will make every effort to allow our general public access to our systems, policies and undertakings. And we will provide multiple avenues for the public to tell us where we may have gone wrong, needs improvement, or doing well.
