#fasttrackingreform #StateCaptureCommission #ZondoCommission Thabang Motsohi agrees with Kieswetter that reform requires a clarity of purpose and ethical leadership. @anthonybut
Conference misses a key question, argues Motsohi. Apartheid was a system of exclusion. That is at the root of it. Post-apartheid challenge was to set a strategic intent to serve larger South Africa.
Social Justice and Equity are the key strategic challenges of the public service. We haven't achieved this because organisations are not 'fit for purpose'.
#FasttrackingReform #StateCaptureCommission #ZondoCommission Toyin Falola insists that any reform agenda has to deal with citizenship. State administrations in postcolonial Adrica are largely foreign impositions. This is key! @anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee
Postcolonial State administrations operate on the basis of kinship. In Nigeria, President could instruct head of Reseve Bank to deliver cash to house. When Governor of Kano was asked why he had government money in his home, he asked how can governor not have government money.
Who polices the officials? Historically, people policed themselves through shame and guilt. Modern states destroy that sense of shame.
#FasttrackingReform #statecapture #StateCaptureCommission Bill Tompson notes that term State Capture is misleading. Suggests that state is victim, yet politicians gain huge benefits from rent seeking practices @anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee
Tompson says three areas of reform: making rules, applying rules and internal organisation. Task becomes very difficult when it comes to state regulating and reforming itself.
Key point: Reforms take a long time and a long time to prepare. More haste less speed. Crises are an opportunity for reform, but reforms only succeed if groundwork has already been done.
#fasttrackingreform #StateCaptureCommission #ZondoCommission @anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee Edward Kieswetter outlines damage done to SARS - huge growth in power of criminal syndicates as SARS was weakened.
@anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee Turning SARS around starts with a clear vision: smart, modern SARS with integriry, trusted and admired
@anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee Kieswetter says the focus is on voluntary compliance rather than forced compliance.
