Bongani Bingwa speaks to Jan de Villiers, Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on the Public Service, about a growing scandal involving so-called “ghost workers” in the public sector. The Gauteng Department of Health reportedly paid R6.4 million in salaries to non-existent employees, even as real doctors go unpaid. At PRASA, up to R20 million has been lost on over 1,000 phantom staff. Investigations by the SIU and Auditor-General suggest this is not administrative error but a pattern of organised, systemic corruption draining public funds. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Should Prince Harry have retained Royalty Protection? (Part 2) Black Spy Podcast, 195, Season 20, Episode 0006 In this week's Black Spy Podcasts, Carlton King and his compatriots, Firgas Esack and Doctor Rachel Taylor delve into the subject of the provision of state controlled close protection operations. As they began last week in part one, the team continues looking into the fall out of the court decision on to agree with the UK Home Office and the Metropolitan Police Service to withdraw police close protection from Prince Harry and his family. The argument played out in the UK Government, Civil Service, Police and finally the High Court was that the withdrawal of Prince Harry's 24 hour armed close protection was seemingly based on the fact that now Prince Harry is estranged from the British royal family and hence no longer undertaking royal duties, that state, in the form of the Royalty Protection section of the RaSP department (Royalty and Specialist Protection Command) of the Metropolitan Police Service should no longer provide Prince Harry with this state sponsored function. Whereas, Prince Harry's argument was, that by virtue of his birth into the Royal Family that regardless of his role, he'd still be seen as intrinsically linked to the very essence of the UK and hence be at threat from the UK's enemies. Carlton uses his decades of expertise in the UK's governmental protection, national security and secret intelligence fields to answer the questions on this issue posed by his podcast colleagues. Moreover some surprising connectivity is uncovered by both Firgas and Dr Rachel vis-a-vis Prince Harry's situation. So, if you want to continue learning whilst being entertained this and next week's continuation of this subject are must listen episodes.

Gillian Johnstone was twenty-three when she landed a job with the Civil Service in Grays, becoming an Executive Officer at the Department of Social Security. Originally from Scotland and excited with the thought of her new job, she moved into a bedsit in Dagenham, Essex, close to her new place of work. Life at this time was good for Gillian – she was enjoying her new employment and her new home and she also enjoyed spending time with her boyfriend, Gary. But one other person in the house, Patrick Keane, took exception at something so incredibly minor and innocuous. But due to this, he made her life a total misery for the next decade....Writing Credit: Chris WoodYou can buy Chris's second book, 'Death in the Theatre' here: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Theatre-Chris-Wood/dp/1399009117Support me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeWatch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime Hosted on Acast.

When James Garfield won the Presidency in 1880, Charles Guiteau got ready to accept his new government job. No one had actually offered him a job – but he'd campaigned for Garfield, so he assumed he'd be rewarded. That was the spoils system, and it was how the government worked.But President Garfield didn't hire him. Guiteau was furious. And on July 2, 1881, he followed Garfield to a Washington D.C. train station and shot him.Today on the show: how an assassination meant to restore the spoils system instead led to its end, and birthed the modern federal workforce.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Faith in our government and elected officials has reached record lows in recent years. In 2023, trust in government institutions plummeted to 16%, marking one of the lowest points in history, and, in 2024, 49% of Americans – a plurality of respondents – asserted that the very foundation of our government, our democracy, was not working. This episode kicks off our limited series How Government Can Get Sh*t Done. In this series, hosts Debbie Cox Bultan and Ryan Coonerty will be joined by political scientists, policy experts, authors, and elected officials as they explore how to make government more effective and responsive, delivering tangible results that improve lives. For today's conversation, Debbie speaks with Jennifer Pahlka, who has decades of experience in civic technology. She was U.S. Deputy Chief Technology Officer under former President Obama and recently authored  the book, Recoding America: Why Government is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do Better. Debbie and Jennifer talk about the factors that often make government slow or ineffective and what the Department of Government Efficiency is getting wrong about cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. Jennifer shares her advice for elected officials from prioritizing civil service reform to investing in digital and data infrastructure and the importance of measuring results. Tune in to hear how Democrats can go on offense against DOGE by championing thoughtful and lawful systemic improvements.   IN THIS EPISODE:  • [01:05] Introducing An Honorable Profession's new series: How Government Can Get Sh*t Done. • [02:17] Welcome to Jennifer Pahlka who served as US Deputy Chief Technology Officer under President Obama. • [04:53] How to not lose sight of the real problems that need evolving. • [09:40] Why efficiency is a byproduct of government rather than a goal. • [11:17] Differentiating between creating regulations and making government work. • [16:24] Four things government officials can do to facilitate interaction. • [18:12] How LLMs can support efficiency. • [21:56] What it might look like to care more about the outcome than the bill. • [25:41] How to know the true status of your bureaucracy. • [28:10] Understanding why bureaucracy is risk adverse. • [30:28] Jennifer's journey to public service. • [32:20] How tech can build a better world for those who most need it.

Whitehall Monitor 2025 – the Institute for Government's flagship annual report on the civil service – found that high staff turnover, confused workforce planning, slipping morale and uncompetitive pay will hinder its ability to deliver Labour's missions, even with an increased headcount and a relentless pressure for greater efficiency and productivity Keir Starmer and Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden have shown a welcome enthusiasm for Whitehall reform – including a commitment to a “test and learn” mindset and “mission boards” – but little will change until long-running civil service challenges, like excessive staff turnover and falling morale, are resolved.
