This week the Inspectorate of Government (IG) is pushing for Prime Minister’s Office principal accountant to be charged with illicit enrichment.

Suspects have come up with numerous dodges of how to shelter their ill-gotten wealth registering it in relatives’ names or in corporate entities which would be difficult to trace back to themselves.

However, if investigators went beyond possessions to audit the suspects’ lifestyles they may have better luck. And that seems to be what they are doing with Kazinda.

That the IGG is now looking to go the way of lifestyle audits is a welcome move, long overdue and could put a meaningful dent in the endemic that is concentrating public resources in a handful of individuals’ bank accounts.
