What good is our AG and the MACC?

I read the column, Bring in [the team of external] Auditors... with a sense of deep sadness, not because of the usual apparent abuse of power and corruption issues that have been raised, but because of the call by Citizen Nades for a team of External Auditors to look into the Sports Ministry's alleged shenanigans. I have no doubt that many of our citizens have little trust in those august institutions such as the Auditor General and the MACC, but I am sure, if they make up their minds, they are up to it to do a creditable, objective and transparent review of the activities of the sports Ministry, as required by law, without fear or favour. I think, much as we feel they will mess up the job, we should call on them first. Let them show us there are still some honest people in the Government service after all, and let us give them the chance to bring back the public trust, by announcing that investigations will commence forthwith.

Auditor General gets first bite..
