From our conversations with whistle-blowers and international legal experts who work on such regimes, we learned that the appointment process for commissioners often results in the appointment of someone from the machinery of government who is likely to return to it. This has been determined to be a problem. The bill does not refer to this explicitly, but during the appointment of commissioners, the government must pay careful attention to this aspect.
The current bill provides for recourse to the Auditor General in cases of alleged gross mismanagement. The Auditor General is independent and enjoys full confidence in matters of finance and management.
