I think we can expect the Integrity Commission to be weaker and defanged at the end of this review process. And we will have allowed it! The gag clause will not have been removed, declarations will still be in secret, the prosecutorial powers of the commission will be removed, and the capacity of the commission to gather evidence of malfeasance will be reduced. Nepotism and cronyism will still not be illegal. Breaches of procurement guidelines will still not be punishable at law. Contracts entered into with the private sector by the government will remain undisclosed, and political donations will still be undeclared, making it harder to detect bribery, graft and influence peddling. Is this “a joke business”, or does it call for weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth?
