    "content": "the President on that very day to have mentioned the issue of corruption. Corruption is a monster in this country. We are talking of a wage bill but the big problem that we have in this country is--- We have issues with the wage bill but that is not the issue. The issue is that there is a lot of wastage in this Government. There are many loopholes in this Government and corruption is the main thing. There are critical projects that the President had mentioned, for instance, the issue of the laptops. I expected the President to have mentioned the progress report on the issue of laptops but in a clever way, that issue was avoided. It was not mentioned at all and we were told that the project had stalled because of corruption. The President should have come out clearly and committed that he was going to fight corruption. We must strengthen the institutions in this country that fight corruption. For instance, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) should be strengthened through the Budget. Again the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is a very critical office and so is the Office of the Auditor-General. All these issues were not mentioned anywhere in the President’s Speech and these are the critical institutions as far as fighting corruption is concerned."
