CARELIFE CHARACTER FOUNDATION TRAINS OVER 60 PRINCIPAL MARSHALS, HEADS OF OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATIONS OF KADUNA STATE TRAFFIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY (KASTELEA)

FOCUS- INTEGRITY IN PUBLIC SERVICE DELIVERY

Kaduna State Traffic Law  Enforcement Agency (KASTELEA) have since her inauguration by the Kaduna State Government been at the fore front of ensuring safety on roads by enforcing traffic laws, order, decency and orderliness within Kaduna State roads and her environments. The services of this agency compliments the activities of the  Federal Road Safety Corp and even more as KASTELEA does not just pay attention to federal or major roads, but to every nook and cranny of the state.

 This platform has also been able to provide job opportunities to jobless youths, reduce youth restiveness, and contribute to the state internal generated revenue and lots more.

Her unique activities which are conducted with a certain degree of professionalism and strategic approach even to the admiration and adoption of neighboring states has as usual (compared to other uniform and public agencies) started facing   different forms of set- backs and image degradation from corrupt practices of personal interests, greed, extortions of commuters, uniform abuse, strong resistance from chronic traffic laws defaulters and other external influences, endangering the image and total output of the organization. 

It is no more news that the management of kastelea in a quest for decency and to re-position the organization for effective service delivery recently sacked 124 marshals (bad eggs) who were engaged in different illegalities ranging from gross misconducts, extortion, and others, from the system.

Using this approach (sacking those that are found wanting) alone, without building the capacity of the exiting workforce may  yield little or no result as many more corrupt practices may still be practiced by the marshals using different mediums and patterns to the detriment of the growth and better productivity of the organization.

THE ROOT OF ALL ILLEGALITIES IN PUBLIC SERVICE DELIVERY CAN BE TRACED TO THE WRONG/CORRUPT MNDSET (POOR CHARACTER BANK) OF THE EXISTING WORKFORCE, HENCE THE NEED FOR CHARACTER CAPACITY BUILDING.

One of the first and best ways to solve any complex issues of life from different platforms is by the simple approach of mindset rehabilitation through effective character capacity building as whatever becomes of any individual (positive or negative) stems from the state of an individual’s mindset.
