Ali Hamsa: Sec-Gen must be aware of all transactions

Chief Secretary to the Government Ali Hamsa says he is waiting for Auditor-General’s report on alleged misappropriation of RM100 million.

I think there are too many 'loopholes' in our accounting and financial management in all ministeries, and Sports Ministry has proven it all. I just cannot fathom how the hell could this Sports Ministry Under Secretary evade and circumvent all financial rules, procedures and regulations that comes direct under the nose of the Secretary General, unless the Sec Gen is himself sleeping on his job. And even the Minister cannot absolve responsibility because he appears not to know what is happening to his own ministry, and don't tell me he is sleeping as well. With this loss of RM100 million by the Sports Ministry, now we know why millions are also lost in other ministeries, and duly reported in the Annual Auditor General's report, but the question the begs answers......who really cares?

steadyaku47 comment : Whether KJ stays as Minister or not depends on Najib - no more no less. If Najib has any doubt as to whether KJ does really love and respect the PM then KJ is history. In these trying times for Najib he has to be 100% sure that everyone within his cabinet watches his back. That said, I would think that kicking KJ out of cabinet will mean losing Pak Lah's support  - so here again, Najib has to decide how crucial and neccessary is Pak Lah's support in his battle against a formidable array of opponents from within and outside of Umno. ....as for KJ.....the question of ethics, morality, responsibility and accountbility would best be ignored lest he be considered a hypocrite.
