A framework for guidelines on lifestyle audits for cabinet ministers and their deputies will be finalised by March 2021, about three years after President Cyril Ramaphosa said such examinations together with the signing of performance agreements would be introduced…
The audits and performance agreements would play a key role in having the Cabinet Ministers held accountable to a set of standards and ensuring that corruption is routed out.
It is expected that the performance agreements assessments would take place twice a year for all ministers and government departments, and in the event of their failure to meet the required standards, and according to the President’s grand promises, they would be fired.
All these years later and there is still no standard of performance in place, nor has there been any accountability on the issue of corruption. It is quite clear that some ministers are performing dismally, and benefiting financially from their position, but there is no set standard on which they can be judged, and that’s how they will get away with it.
What stops those in power from hiding their wealth through proxies? How much can we rely on the information we are given?
