We Pay Dead People

"The Chairman of the Public Sector Transformation Unit Consultative
Monitoring Group has revealed worrying discrepancies in the civil
service. Peter Moses says the discrepancies include a system where
the names of dead people on the Government’s payroll."

I could of told him that.
Some are really dead and been dead for years.
Some are actually breathing but haven't been near the office for years.

The Jamaican Government actually was paying a blind security guard.
But hey...
this is a Kakistocracy, right?

"The head of Transformation Unit, Patricia Sinclair McCalla says an
audit is now underway to find the duplications on the Government’s
payroll. However, she says the lack of adequate technology in
Government’s payroll system is making it difficult."

Did anyone expect the Government's payroll to have even 1990 tech?
How could they steal if there was some kind of master list?

They also seemed to notice the exorbitant rents paid by Ministries
and government agencies.

Hmmmm...
bet nothing will be done.
Except firing enough people to make sure the Civil Service is
really inefficient.
