The report in today's BEELD [17 October 2013] on page 6 tells this story of the honourable Dina Pule who was fined by Parliament for telling lies. She had to pay one month's salary and she was kicked out of Parliament for one month. .
She was supposed to disclose assets - but she failed to do so. Now Prof Ben Turok is reported to have said that the real question about this lady is whether she will be honest this time.
This is very bad and it stinks!! Let me say that we do not need "better systems." Our systems are in essence well thought out and tough. It is people that drive it that is the problem - like this honourable member of Parliament.
We need honesty, integrity, a work ethic, trustworthiness, morality - and so I can go on and list these qualities that are so sadly lacking in our community.
