Madam Deputy Speaker, the Minister, as expected, mentioned the various anticorruption strategies that have been announced over the years and anticorruption units that have been instituted. But what did the Public Service Commission find?
Firstly, they found that offenders do not have to pay the money back and that criminal charges are not laid. In other words, offenders get away with misdemeanours. Moreover, according to the Public Service Commission, over the past two financial years the cost of financial misconduct has risen by 78%. Minister, why don't you insist that criminal charges be laid against offenders and that they pay the stolen money back?
