Description
A SERIOUS concern expressed in the media these days pertains to the losses, inefficiency and corruption of public-sector corporations. The dissatisfaction with their performance is attributed to political control.
This article demonstrates that these corporations can be turned around and at the same time political control over them can be effectively exercised.
The only difference in the present situation and the proposed solution is that control is shifted from whimsical politicians to a collective system of checks and balances by parliament and the executive.
According to a survey carried out in 2007, the federal government had more than 411 organisational entities of all types under the control of various ministries.
