Fraser-Moleketi gets high UN position

Public Service and Administration minister Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi has been elected vice-president of the United Nation's committee of experts on public administration and finance. She will serve a three-year term. Fraser-Moleketi’s election was announced in New York yesterday. Accepting her new position, Fraser-Moleketi said although there had been strides in governance and administration within the UN's millennium development goals, this did not mean sustainable development and democracy for all member states had been reached. She said the potential those strides held meant a more-active role could be assumed in demolishing hurdles in public administration.
