in and year out, the auditor-general highlights cases of malfeasance by officials in ministries, departments, agencies and government-linked companies but no action is taken to prevent such occurrences, resulting in staggering losses of taxpayers’ monies.
Has there been an audit of all the previous years’ recommendations? Are the yearly losses due to poor governance, planning, negligence, oversight, corruption or ineptitude? It is time we plugged all loopholes and injected a sense of responsibility into those entrusted with the duty to serve the people. Since checks and balances have failed, perhaps we should employ out-of-the-box solutions for this recurring problem. We can introduce a Whistleblower Incentive Programme, coupled with financial incentives for reporting misconduct. This can encourage insiders to come forward with information on malfeasance.
Implement a policy mandating regular rotations of leadership positions to prevent the development of entrenched power structures.
