Time to hold the corrupt accountable

Letters

ALL heads of public institutions by virtue of the positions they hold should be chief accounting officers.
As individuals, they are fully responsible and accountable for all their good as well as corrupt actions within the organisations they manage.
If an alleged corrupt action is exposed, the employer (State) is duty-bound to take investigative actions.
But that does not happen in most cases due to the intertwined bureaucratic responsibilities executed corruptly by the network of cohorts who delay the outcome to frustrate the concluding process to the National Executive Council.
The scapegoat is always the suspected whistle-blowers who are terminated for no reason.
There should be a disciplinary watchdog unit created at the Prime Minister’s Department to crack the whip on institutions such as Department of Personnel Management, Public Service Commission and the Department of Justice and Attorney General to speed up investigations on any pending alleged misconduct of a chief executive officer of a government agency.
It has to start with the much-publicised department head who is almost serving full term of his contract employment under 22 months suspension.
