Good afternoon.
This
is Bureaucracy Now, the Word and Paper
Report.
Thank
you for listening.
Today
we have a special report on the drafting of objectives for guidelines to ensure
that the oversight of core policies involving public resources and the government
public administration are informed by professional and objective functions that
are dependent on departmental management.
We
have an interview with a senior official charged with providing assurance as to
whether these activities are managed in a way that demonstrates responsible stewardship.
Also
today on our show, we will present the latest in our series on ways to ensure deputy
heads are supported in their roles as defined in section 16.4 (1) and 16.4 (2)
of the administration of departments and processes act.
This
series is the result of an in-depth Bureaucracy
Now investigation of management, control, and governance. Our investigative team has found that deputy
heads need to receive assurance and advice from their departmental committees
and functions to inform decision making at the highest levels of their departments.
More
to come later in the show.
But
first we would like to remind you of our appeal to supporters of Bureaucracy Now ! and our campaign to
ensure our program continues to bring stories not covered by main stream media
to the airwaves.
All
across our country people are organizing events, staging fundraisers, and circulating
petitions in what is known as the Bureaucracy
Now Movement. The efforts are targeting
local radio stations and opinion leaders and gaining strength every day.
As
a listener who has yet to change the channel, we ask that you resist
invitations to participate in these projects - as they seek to have our program taken
off the air and to close our operations permanently.
Boycotts
of our sponsor the Dominion Paper Company have also had an impact, and we may
not be able to continue on-air much longer.
Please
do what you can to support us by not supporting our detractors. Maybe even send them a memo.
Now
back to our show, and our top story – the drafting of objectives for the oversight
of policies.
