Juffa, live up to promise to clean up Oro administration
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.
