Executive must work within confines of the law in new anti-graft campaign

On November 23, the President gave some directives on the fight against corruption, and declared it “a national security threat.” Somewhere towards the end of his speech His Excellency noted:

“In the past, my Government has issued some of the policy statements I have announced. I have not been satisfied with a lot of the implementation, partly in regard to poor coordination and the red tape involved in implementing a new constitutional dispensation. For this reason, from now henceforth, the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service will be reporting to me on a weekly basis on progress in implementing the measures I have announced today”.
