New, more open Prasa 'back on track soon'

13 Aug 2015

The board of the Passenger Rail Agency of SA was working "full steam" to improve operations at the organisation by putting greater emphasis on transparency and accountability.

Board chairman Popo Molefe confirmed yesterday that the decision follows receipt of the Auditor-General's report, which highlighted irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure.

The Prasa board was also expecting a legal opinion about prospects of recovering funds from former employees accused of falsifying their qualifications. Other actions deliberated by the board included civil criminal proceedings and blacklisting affected persons from working for the state.

Molefe said "transparency and accountability should be accorded greater importance in the future when weighing up the protection of executive decisions against disclosure. We must be able to publicly justify our decisions immediately."

Prasa is also awaiting receipt of the public protector's report. The report was delayed following requests from Prasa staff to make further submissions. - RDM Newswire
