Interlocking issues in the bureaucracy
HILARIO P. MARTINEZ 3
Critical questions about government personnel profile, rarely asked, rarely answered
How many have average IQ and EQ or better?
How many have below average IQ and EQ?
How many are technically prepared for the job?
How many are competent and with relevant work experience?
How many are doubtfully competent and lacking in pertinent experience?
HILARIO P. MARTINEZ 4
The cascading questions?
What is the downside of having security of tenure in public service?
What does incompetence promote?
How much does inefficiency cost the government?
How much does corruption cost the citizen-taxpayers?
HILARIO P. MARTINEZ 5
Most frequently resorted solutions for graft and corruption cases
After-the-fact courses of action:
Conduct of inquiry, fact-finding or investigation
Re-assignment, reshuffling, suspension or dismissal of concerned employee/s
Filing of administrative and/or criminal case against the erring employees
Replacement of key officials with another set of appointees
Issuance of administrative corrective measures

The Compatibility Issue in an Iceberg?
Case 1
• Management with integrity and a graft-ridden staff
Case 2
• A graft-prone Management and a professional staff
Case 3
• A graft-prone Management and a graft-ridden staff
Case 4
• Management with integrity and incorruptible professional staff

An Almost I.M.F. (IMPOSSIBLE MISSION FOCUS)

This is the only one that can earn back the people’s trust and respect.
But this will be a long and very serious job, and a very painful one
for everyone of us too
