DC links officers’ accountability to KPI performance

Faisalabad: Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Nauman Siddique linking officers’ accountability to KPI performance, said that only officers failing to achieve KPI targets would be required to explain their performance in review meetings. Chairing a meeting to review progress on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) on Tuesday, he announced a new accountability framework for government departments and said the officers who fail to achieve their assigned KPI targets would be required to attend review meetings and explain their performance whereas those successfully meeting their targets would be exempted from attending such meetings. He also issued a stern warning against fake performance reporting, directing the officers to rectify any incorrect entries voluntarily. He also made it clear that strict departmental action would be initiated against the officials who were found making false or fabricated entries in future KPI reports.
