The Ethics Government Act aims to prevent government employees from doing what?

The Ethics Government Act is designed primarily to ensure that government employees maintain high ethical standards and avoid conflicts of interest. The correct focus of the Act is on preventing government employees from engaging in conduct that could compromise their public responsibilities.

Option B suggests that the Act aims to enhance career opportunities after service, which misinterprets its true purpose. Instead, the Act sets boundaries to prevent situations where former government employees might use their insider knowledge or connections for personal gain in private sector jobs, thus safeguarding the integrity of government operations.

In contrast, engaging with lobbyists, making unbiased decisions, and pursuing public employment after resigning do relate to the responsibilities and limitations placed on government employees and officials. However, the core purpose of the Ethics Government Act is focused on preventing conflicts of interest and maintaining ethical standards, particularly regarding the potential for improper influence and the integrity of decision-making processes within government roles.

Hence, while all options relate to government ethics, the Act specifically aims to address conflicts arising from former government employment and decisions made while in office, rather than enhancing post-service career opportunities.
