IN a bid to enhance institutional integrity and operational excellence, the Road Fund has conducted an introductory training on Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Ethics (GRCE) for its staff members.
The initiative underscores the Road Fund’s commitment to aligning internal operations with best practices in public sector governance, while cultivating a culture of transparency and ethical accountability within its workforce.
In a statement released on Friday, Road Fund Chief Executive Officer, Matšepang Sekhokoane, highlighted the strategic importance of embracing GRCE principles, warning that failure to do so could undermine organisational performance.
“As custodians of public resources, we are accountable not just for the funds we manage but also for the systems and behaviours we promote. This training reinforces our commitment to operational integrity and strengthens stakeholder trust,” Ms Sekhokoane said.
She further emphasised that ethics are fundamentally about behaviour, adding that fostering positive relationships with colleagues and stakeholders is essential to team performance and to reinforcing the organisation’s desired culture.
Speaking during the training, Road Fund Head of Legal, Risk, and Compliance, Advocate Phoka Thene, delved into the importance of ethical governance in the public sector. He described the management of ethics as a proactive and strategic function and stressed the direct connection between ethical culture and organisational performance.
“The initiative reflects the Road Fund’s commitment to aligning internal practices with the highest standards in public sector governance, while promoting a culture of transparency and ethical responsibility among its workforce,” Adv Thene said.
