STAR RATING MILLIONS WILL BE GONE TOO

Star rating for secretaries-general......................of how these top civil servants manage the ministries of using public funds. The simple rule is that when one is incompetent in his/her job, he/she should be sacked. How can a person spend hundred millions and escape responsibility and accountability? This is a disease in the government ministries and agencies. It has been carried on for years though Auditor Generals had come, found he discrepancies, made reports, then they too disappeared in retirement. The reports of years ago were forgotten and the illness repeats all over again with new person new Auditor General new excuses more hundred millions lose in the web of contracts. In my view these sec-general never ask for 3 quotations or more to determine the cost of a project. The committee lacks the wisdom and accountability as a result a contract is signed without feeling any remorse about it. They dont pay it out of their pockets so they dont feel the pinch. A cashier is held accountable for any shortfall in the till. The company will ask the cashier to top up the shortfall. In the government depts and ministries, nobody is held payable for a sloppy job. In my view star rating shouldnt be used. It is this punishment - get the best out of any contract or you lose your job entrusted to you. It is so simple to test the cost of a good. Check out in the hypermarket or stores...............just by walking around in the air-conditioned complexes the sec-general or his officers can determine the price of each item display. No they are too lazy and comfortable living in the cozy office to take a field job to save the taxpayers money and country.
