Members of Parliament on the Public Accounts Committee are concerned that the Directorate of Ethics and Integrity is not serving the purpose for which it was established.
Members of the committee contend that while it is meant to strengthen the fight against corruption, this has not been done effectively.
Committee chairperson Kassiano Wadri says the MPs are also concerned about the fact that the directorate’s accountability committee is currently under the finance ministry and are demanding that it is returned to the directorate as.
The directorate has often cited under staffing as one of the challenges affecting service delivery.
