this yeah imagine you're applying for a job your first successfully or examinations or assessments in terms you've been told by D. examiner that's hard to top scorer candidates that you have all analytical and soft skills to meet the jobs requirements I feel very happy because his job can change your life but the day before you should go to signing the contract you receive a phone call
the examiner tells you sorry but the director picked someone else he feels so sorry that you secretly shares with you that's the selected person was a foolish candidates but was a close relative to the director as such a story Upton to anyone if you please let's do a show of hands Khomeini about twenty percent of delusions it's already something for those of you who experience that
into public sector I can imagine your feelings sadness anger even resignation D. Stokes is about how to convert resignation into programs but eventually how to promote accountability of public sector leaders why do public sector the significance because all of us are paying taxes to fund it so we should all F. to write you say something about to usage of demonic and your mountains of taxes we
pay is significance however looks to just not which represent a tax revenues in percent of the gross domestic product in two thousand fifteen D. OECD I've reached is that a third it's means that's about dot dot detects river Newsweek pay represent a third of the value we create on average isn't it paradoxical that when we prepare our Christmas gifts when you want to change a work
phone script shin we spend how words even dates comparing prices for some percent of difference whereas when we have to pay taxes we almost have nothing to say the taxes are used of course for the common good dar use to build schools roads to take care of the waste management but to pay police forces but it seems as with the discrimination in hiring example but some
public feeders tends to forget about accountability forget about the rooms they may be themselves creates it and off to rule this kind of behavior begins to make their citizens less trustful in the public sector dislike of confidence creates sign of the declining democracy and DS we would not accept that we should change dot and how can we do six that will be the purpose of this
talk first we could contemplate having smarts and noticed people like you because you are interested in ideas worth spreading to access executive positions legislative positions should judicial cookbook position in our systems of course it will be already something very valuable it will not be enough why because history S. toto's that power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely and not just take time limitation is
essential to authority and the government is legitimate only if it is effectively limited so having sports people helps but it's good cannot be sufficient a second way I would like to address is how publicado eaters can become ineffective counter power tibco teachers can check real facts real figures provided by governments and didn't dissuade they cannot act as a counter power but only if the benefits from
citizens report they can really be effective why citizens report to scheme citizens support the ski because citizen have to power the power comes from you it has even been set in stone more than two hundred years ago into declaration of the rights of man enough to citizen established in seventeen eighty nine this is a very important text for our civilization and within districts we can read
dots men are equal they have the same rights to access public jobs and to take part in the legislative process France even treated to stand for the two hundredth I never serving of distinct separation theories to stand and what I would like to highlight with you is the article fifteen which says that society has the right to require of every publications on account of his administration
so it's English words from two hundred years ago basically says that accountability should be the rule of but what have we been doing with this right we have let's do a second show of hands how many of you have personally used just right to require accountability from your public authorities please raise hands maybe ten percent of geo gents it's already better dug into rehearsals congratulations but
still ten percent is not the majority it seems we have like a broken link here between each season and yet ministration because we feel we cannot change things really we can only elects our governments every four or five years and then waits and restart to gain and we don't have many OCPD tease to change things on going my belief is that this difficulty of communicating between
the citizen and yet music and get ministration can be improved food is used of public cultures the public culture would create two separate ways to improve the situation firstly with respect to the administration it will ask for increased transparency increase transparency means two constraints the administration to provide sound data to really gives complete full and accurate figures we could reach hurricane constraints jet ministration two sets
objectives that can be measured so that's a D. end of the term of a petition we can all notes whether he succeeded ori fails but more importantly there is seconds way DOD terror can work on he's still link and a connection with a citizen actually the link with you why do you think is important let me show you an example from Geneva in two thousand thirteen
on the website of the court of auditors we received a message mentioning some managers in Dutch company you are under high pressure to invest money into a project that's makes no sense so although we are in Switzerland deployed to project he's not abouts milch or cows it was about do windmills Fonda Jura mountains and after some investigations the court of auditors could determine that some fraudulent
practices were going you where Goten gone because of a single employee of the company so the report was published and then a criminal claimed was fire ants and he's all depressed said lines so rich in French but that's where published after some time but you don't need to find huge cases like these to communicate with your auditors you can also communicates for some odd situations that
you might face in your everyday life we do administration for instance when you go to do a show car comes full check imagine you don't get a receipt as with the example of discrimination in hiring if you are subject to such practice or imagine you are always dolostone Dicks you when you require to rights to have access to a subsidized apartments all of D. skin be
investigated by a public culture who will check the facts but for Dutch difficulty terror would need confidence confidentiality when this special insecure China with deceit isn't mendeecees if future crossroad for the public culture to give you enough confidence so that you feel free to contact him and what we we we have now is that more and more some systems based on what form the web technology
can guarantee a slow a very high end encryption of the communication and the data will not even be hosted I to do you would you took place but in a secure system which is in another town tree and which she's totally encrypted and secure here are an example of some public companies or big federations which have already set up such secured channel so that citizens or
users of dis administrations can contact directly doctor because he tore bodies imagine as well %HESITATION ducts in other countries like in Brazil with love Asia to like can you tell me some years ago with money polluted in Germany with the semen scabies how foster to communication would if being yes confidentiality could have been provided to deceit is an last but not least make sure that accountability
is not only valid for the public's heaters but also for doctor because he tears you must control your auditors as well did I tell you I was working for to Geneva court of auditors make sure you're controlling me and if you come from water chilled treason make sure that you can control your public auditors as well it's now time to conclude remember at the beginning I
mentioned the ticket accountability can change life's of people maybe with the case of WTVT company investing in the Whitney meals this was a bit impersonal then you cannot truly feel what Upton's industries which imagine if I well to tell you the discrimination in hiring example was not fictitious Israel and indeed court of auditors made a no dates some five years ago abouts hiring processes in Geneva
administration and found a lot of problems and after DOD some processors were canceled some contracts were canceled and a process had to restart again so you can imagine that the person who was initially rejected but finally chosen could really had a change in his life was my final wish is to motivate you communicate more with the auditors when US findings about fraudulent practices and yet ministration
help me in Geneva I need you I knelt alter public cultures wherever you come from communicates more with them they need you as well your communications can really bring more equal treatment about YRC among citizen it can bring better value for detects figures and eventually it's might increase trust we have in our public authorities accountability was set in stone more than two hundred years ago let's
