years calculated from the time they leave employment as license inspectors.

4. Provision of loans guarantees to POTRAZ employee spouses is contrary to good
governance principles
4.1. Section 16 of the First Schedule gives powers to POTRAZ to guarantee loans made
to POTRAZ employees or their spouses. This might be against principles of good
governance as set out in section 194 of the Constitution as read with the draft
Corporate Governance Bill which is expected to be gazetted as an Act soon.

4.2. Loaning public funds to employee’s spouses is not the best way to spend public
funds. Especially when sections 13 to 15 of the First Schedule of the Bill already
provide for various options in which POTRAZ can finance or provide
accommodation for its staff and families.

4.3. Recommendation: The current section 16 of the First Schedule of the Bill should
be struck out.
