Execs must come clean

/ 04:32 AM July 25, 2011

The endless bickering in government service shows the kind of leadership we are being served. Dishonesty indeed is bad public service. The question is: Why is there so much opposition to investigate the reported anomalies? Isn’t the moral need to “come clean” part of public service?

If one’s stint in government had been “clean,” there is no reason for one to fear an investigation. On the other hand, there is a price to pay for mistakes made.

Indeed, those who fear an investigation immediately show their guilt. The fact is: grading government service on the basis of set objectives that have been ignored is the only way to determine whether or not government service or performance is satisfactory.

Therefore, if people in government cannot accomplish what they are supposed to do, they must be made to bear the consequences.
