Abstract: Africa is not developing as much as expected because most of the countries in the continent have faulty and problematic Public Service institutions. The twin evils of institutional and cultural constraints have combined to hinder African Governments from delivering public good to their citizens. Several years after democratization had emblazoned the continent with democratic institutions, a significant number of the citizenries of the different countries of Africa are wallowing in poverty while the public infrastructure is run aground because the Public Services of these countries are serving private interests. The interventions by international organizations and development agencies such as the World Bank, IMF, DFID, USAID, etc., in providing institutional support through policy recommendations and capacity building have not yielded any positive change in the quality of public administration in Africa.
