“You don’t need a budget to clean your environment or paint your offices, because the amount of money required is so small and that there is no office which does not have money to paint it. You don’t need money to make sure that people come to work on time or they are punctual. These days you go to an office, and they have a television at the reception and people will be watching, I get so angry, people are watching these South African films translated into English and other things, those ones are definitely marks of incompetence and the leaders or managers must be held accountable. If you are Christian read your Bible before you come to work.”
He said these actions reduce productivity which in turn affects the country’s economy negatively.
