A reader writes on Paula Cox's shocking oped from Wednesday:
"In addition, there is an accountability framework that includes the office of the Accountant-General's Department, the Office of the Auditor-General, the Office of Internal Audit, and the Ministry of Finance HQ."Why does she even mention this, when this exact "accountability framework" has been raising red flags over the years only to be ignored and/or challenged by government under the guise of menace.
Two qualified audits as a starter. And the Ministry of Finance can't overrule bonehead directives coming from Cabinet and the Minister. They just have to try and make it work.
The Finance Minister is really really reaching to justify her poor stewardship of the country's finance.
Bob Richards has a good rebuttal today. He wasn't overly academic for a change.
