In Summary
To stem bad governance, Public Account Committee should grill chairpersons of the BoDs before or instead of executive directors.
On the September 5, 2014, the Auditor General (AG) released a report he had conducted on the effectiveness of boards of directors in 13 state agencies for the period between July 1, 2011 and December 30, 2013.
In that report, the AG noted that 54 per cent of audited boards lacked approved strategic plans, 85 per cent operated without a risk management policy and 76.93 per cent had not conducted performance appraisals of their director generals/chief executive.
With regard to the general performance against their legal mandates, the AG noted that only two boards had fully implemented their mandate during the audited period; that apart from approving draft annual budget, less than 50 per cent of the boards had performed other cross-cutting responsibilities; and that none of the members of audited boards had participated in a formally organized continuing professional development programme.
