Is any govt service holder do a business in his own name?

Answer 1

Depends on the position of that government employee.

If he or she is an elected official or in a position of power, they are not allowed to own a personal business. The reason is because it allows an open door for corruption.. pay offs.

But if he or she is like just a school teacher, that is a govt employee, then it doesn't matter...

Answer 2

Government workers are not allowed to have a business in their own name because it is probihited under the Civil Service Law due to conflict of interests.

Answer 3
