Code of Ethics for Government
Service
The O.C.G.A. §
45-10-2 authorizes the
Secretary of State to publish the Code of Ethics For Government Service established
in section 45-10-1
(Ga. L. 1968, p. 1369.) for exhibiting to the public and employees of the state
and all governments therein.
Any person in government service should:
I. Put loyalty to the highest moral principles and
to country above loyalty to persons, party, or government department.
II. Uphold the Constitution, laws, and legal
regulations of the United States and the State of Georgia and of all governments
therein and never be a party to their evasion.
III. Give a full day's labor for a full day's pay
and give to the performance of his duties his earnest effort and best thought.
IV. Seek to find and employ more efficient and
economical ways of getting tasks accomplished.
V. Never discriminate unfairly by the dispensing of
special favors or privileges to anyone, whether for remuneration or not, and
never accept, for himself or his family, favors or benefits under circumstances
which might be construed by reasonable persons as influencing the performance of
his governmental duties.
VI. Make no private promises of any kind binding
upon the duties of office, since a government employee has no private word which
can be binding on public duty.
VII. Engage in no business with the government,
either directly or indirectly, which is inconsistent with the conscientious
performance of his governmental duties.
VIII. Never use any information coming to him
confidentially in the performance of governmental duties as a means for making
private profit.
IX. Expose corruption wherever discovered.
X. Uphold these principles, ever conscious that
public office is a public trust.
