KGAOGELO NTLHANE | The truth is that parliament has created institutions to act on corruption and abuse of funds but no action has been taken against the culprits.

Drastic changes have been made in legislation that regulates anti-corruption, for example the National Prosecution Authority Amendment Act and Financial Prosecuting Authority Amendment Act, but corruption still continues in the public sector.Why were his previous recommendation overlooked and red flags ignored? This act came into effect last year but the auditor-general's report is telling us no action can be taken soon.

The problem with ruling parties in municipalities and provincial government is that they cannot distance themselves from allegations levelled against members because all the corrupt officials are their deployees. Parliament must also embark on a deep reflection on its role. The fault line is the hiring practice and firing of those who defy corrupt political orders. Some administrators with amazing expertise are purged for no reason.
