Social and political criticisms
I think that the public sector, the government, is unjustly being branded as center of corruption, ineptness, inefficiency, red tape and corruption.
Not so. Even in private sector, inefficiency red tape, ineptness, and wrongdoings abound. Hence there are many cases of business closure and scandals.
It has something to do with the leadership and management and the integrity of its officers. If the leadership lacks the integrity and the forcefulness to see to it that the correct values and culture in the organization thrive, then all the bad things, whether it be in the government or private sector is bound to happen.
Let us end the stereotype and the generalization about the government. There are centers of excellence too in the public sector.
