The National, Thursday January 9th, 2014

 HARDWORKING teachers in many parts of the country, particularly those in very remote parts, suffer  unnecessarily at the hands of  some corrupt education and provincial staff every year. 

Yet, these  leeches are allowed  to   continue stealing without any disciplinary or criminal actions against them. 

How much longer can this be tolerated? 

Are provincial administrators serving  the  people  and  the state  to manage the provinces’ resources, or are they just looking out for their own interests?

How are staff performances being measured, monitored and paid  their yearly allowances when there is no tangible service delivery for the people? 

Why are their contracts being maintained  when  clearly  many  of them  should  have  been  sacked for non-performance, abuse and corrupt practice? 

Teachers’ leave fare issue is an indication  of rampant corruption in government agencies. 

Provincial administrators who are custodians  of  these funds must be held responsible and if there were any abuses, they must be terminated for non-compliance and face the the law.

The National’s report, ‘Juffa blames officials’ (Dec 20) was a joke. 

Juffa campaigned in the 2012 elections that he would put the Oro government administration in order and fight corruption. 

One year has gone and the administration  remains  as corrupt as ever. 

Juffa  is  making  too  much  noise and there is no impact on the ground  level  to  restore integrity in the public administration. 

The governor lacks focus because  there  is  no  cohesive  leadership shown by the absence of an integrated provincial development plan while the public service is lethargic, fragmented and non-functional. 

Governor, the people urge you to  spend  more time in the province to seriously put the Oro house in order before talking about big issues, otherwise, it is a futile road ahead and the people do not wish to suffer anymore under  your kind  of leadership.
