在昨日的国会辩论,工人党主席暨阿裕尼集选区议员林瑞莲,在国会质问总理,是否理解现任总审计长吴顺宝,和国防部高级政务部长王志豪乃夫妻关系。

她质问,总理在委任一名高级政务次长妻子成为总审计长时,有没有考量到这可能影响公众对审计署独立性的看法?

她指出,总审计署对于审查政府账目、揭发舞弊确保政府谨慎、有诚信地管理公共财产,扮演重要角色。通常,也是从资深公务员中遴选总审计长人选。由于对吴顺宝本人了解不多,也没有理由质疑她,姑且相信她有能力审慎公正地履行职务。

贸工部长陈振声在代表总理回答林瑞莲提问时,指出:“林瑞莲询问我们是否理解新届审计长吴顺宝,和高级政务部长王志豪是夫妻关系,是的,我们知道。”

他解释,宪法都有阐明委任公职的程序、遴选条件和资历。政府一般会考量人选能力、经验、诚信和表现等。

他说,总审计长是由总统根据公共服务委员会的提名和建议委任,总统也会询问总统顾问理事会的意见,确保遴选过程慎密。

“吴顺宝有公共领域服务30载的经验,在多个部门服务,也很熟悉政府采购等程序。”

他补充,审计署将审计结果传达给各部门常任秘书,之后由他们针对结果作调整,整个过程一般不会涉及担任政治要职者。故此,王志豪和吴顺宝的夫妻关系,不会构成利益冲突。

在公共领域服务了45年、总审计署奉公六年的前审计长陈育明,是在上月8日退休,并由总理公署兼内政部副常任秘书吴顺宝接棒,后者成为1970年以来的首位女审计长。

吴顺宝早年获得政府海外优异奖学金,到英国剑桥大学修读经济学。她在1984年就投身公共服务,也曾在教育部、财政部和公共服务署等部门任职。

从2009年起在内政部担任副常任秘书,吴顺宝主要负责财务、采购和内部审计事项。

她也在2016年出任总理公署副常任秘书,协助常任秘书管理国家安全协调秘书处和选举局。

吴顺宝在2000年获颁公共行政(银)奖章,之后在2015年获得公共行政(金)奖章。

前审计长揭弊立大功

至于总审计署过去在陈育明的领导下,屡屡在审计报告中揭发一些部门严重的疏漏,例如在2015年,有35个社区俱乐部管理委员会,被发现在采购时没有获得相关的批准,就发出53份合约,总值1千778万元。

其中有10家的合约是未经批准、竞标就直接颁发,总值367万元。

2017年,总审计署也发现人民协会人民协会下18个基层组织的189项采购,总值603万元。在进行25项总值61万9900元的采购,并没有寻求适当审批就颁发采购合约。
