Corruption Watch has welcomed the name and
shame campaign by government.
On Sunday Minister of Justice Jeff Radebe released
the names of over 40 convicted fraudsters. The list also includes private
individuals who defrauded government departments.
Several people on the list of 42 fraudsters
worked for government. Minister Radebe said that was just the beginning as 3000
more names are set to follow.
Corruption Watch Executive Director David
Lewis said that this naming and shaming that has taken place so far doesn’t
even represent the tip of the ice berg but it’s a step in the right direction.
“Equally we think it’s appropriate that the
department of public service and administration should set up a body that is
dedicated to effectively as we understand it running disciplinary cases
involving instances of gross financial misconduct or corruption,” said Lewis.
He also added that it is clear that
government departments and agencies need assistance in running these disciplinary
cases and they are pleased that are attending to this.
