Audits proves inept leadership

Jan 05, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

Once again, the recent audits undertaken by the AG have proven to anyone who was still hesitating on the poor performance of so many government entities, that the majority were headed by individuals who were not fit to be at the helm.
The last month of reports of huge financial mismanagement in so many entities/ministries, is more than pitiful. The recent article by KN of January 4: “Public Infrastructure Ministry overpaid millions,” is just the latest in an endless stream of financial incompetence and a general inability to manage other resources.
Guyana is stepping onto the global stage, and so many are concluding that we can’t handle our finances.
This wholesale inability to manage and oversee the people’s assets is reason enough for a lifetime ban from any government job in the future – but I’m sure they realize that by now.
The audit reports should name and shame all these people, and their enablers who signed off on disbursement of unaccounted and wasted funds.
Let’s also see the names of government officials, whose signatures are on uncompleted projects.
One thing these audits certainly prove is that audits should be conducted several times annually; at least at the end of every quarter and should be a mandatory business practice.
