WEAKNESS IN THE SYSTEM OF CONTROL

In 22 years spent as an officer in the Australian Army, I was involved with many investigations from monies lost from the officers' mess to vehicle accidents.

Effort was even made to teach systems thinking to the officer cadets of the PNGDF during their training at the Joint Services College of PNG at Igam Barracks from 1976.

It was all about fault finding in operational systems. Please click:

MASTERY LEARNING FOR PNGDF TRAINING

The last question asked in any military investigation report was "What is the weakness in the system of control?"

Here the investigating officer had to put it all together to work out what went wrong.

The political system in PNG needs an investigation to examine loss of public monies and establish weaknesses in the DSIP system of funding for politicians.

It would not take much to work out.

The politicians all get K19 million kina to spend on their electorates with no national plan to work from. They are a law unto themselves.

Why does the new Government not hold a moratorium of six months? In that time, needs of electorates are examined and a check-list of tasks be produced with costings.

Politicians have to work within that framework. They will then carry out the tasks.

We are treated to a talk-fest from the Australian rocking chair brigade of blog PNG Attitude.

Some do not focus on a system of control but prefer to vilify and mock politicians. Please click:

MAKE POLITICIANS ACCOUNT FOR DSIP FUNDS

They do not understand the system of control.

There is a reality that politicians will become servants of the process once the working system is in place.

Perhaps ex-kiaps are not systems thinkers.

The nation does not need a herd of Australian consultants to carry out the task.
