Is it not all about governance? If proper governance and proper procurement practice were in place, some of the serious questions which have come up at the Committee of Public Accounts in the recent past may not have come up at all. I do not expect Mr. Watt to comment on the specifics I have raised but I am asking him to comment on the message he is delivering and how it is being heard. Are the relevant Departments and agencies hearing his message and subscribing to it? If they are, why is it that an old culture still exists?
