    A bit late I think, the money is already in secret accounts outside the country. They need to trace that money and bring the corrupt persons to book.

    Risk Management is essentially Insurance management. That is not needed, as most major corporations have such positions.

    Compliance management is more in line with HSE regulations. Again, they already have such positions in most companies.

    Hiring or appointing someone with such titles sounds like an empty title given to some easily scapegoated individual, under the thumb of others.

    As in “Our Risk Manager looked into the charges, and didn't find anything.” Well, we already heard that from Dizzy during the election campaign, and yet the PF DID find evidence enough to investigate and make arrests.

    “ It's all lies ” has now turned into “ I support the investigation ” according to Dizzy. A rather hollow change of tune now being sung.

    Accountability, is needed, as mentioned above by golfcronie, with the independence to go back, thoroughly investigate with no time limits, and then trace the flow of overcharges and kickback payments.

    2 months Dizzy.

    A free hand includes tracing the illegal cash payments, wherever, and with whomever is involved is an absolute requirement, no matter who is sitting in office.

    I hope it's not just another empty title to appease the shareholders......It'll have to be someone who understands the business, is incorruptible and has an untarnished reputation.....otherwise we'll be needing someone else to watch that person as well....

    Ola Jack -

    I share your hope.

    Heading up to California in 2 weeks: I have multiple requests for Weber Haus Aged Pinga (MG), which has become a premium desired item there.
