Ukuphenduka okungalungile kwe-valve kwenye yelabhorethri yezikhali zenuzi yezwe kwaveza ukuqhuma okungabulala kalula izisebenzi ezimbili.Njengoba uMnyango Wezamandla uphenye eminyakeni emithathu ezayo, ilebhu efanayo - enye yezindawo ezi-10 ezihlobene nezikhali zenuzi eziqukethe izinto ezikhipha imisebe ngaphezu kwezingozi ezivamile ezitholakala ezindaweni zezimboni - ibe nezingozi ezimbili ezimbi kakhulu, zombili ezisolwa ngokuphepha okunganele. amaphrothokholi.
Kodwa lapho kufika isikhathi sokuthi abalawuli bathathele izinyathelo inkampani ephethe ilebhu, izikhulu zanquma ngokumelene nesijeziso sezimali. Bahoxise inhlawulo engu-$412,500 ababeyihlongoze ekuqaleni, bethi uSandia Corp., ongaphansi kwe-Lockheed Martin (LMT), yenze “izinyathelo ezibalulekile futhi ezinhle … ukuthuthukisa isiko lokuphepha likaSandia.”

Lokhu bekungewona umphumela ongavamile. Imibhalo yoMnyango wezaMandla etholwe ngabakwa Isikhungo Sobuqotho Bomphakathi ikwenza kucace ukuthi amalebhu nezitshalo zezwe eziyisishiyagalombili zezikhali zenuzi kanye nezindawo ezimbili ezizisekelayo zihlala ziyizindawo eziyingozi zokusebenza kodwa abaphathi bazo bezinkampani ngokuvamile babhekana nezijeziso ezincane ngemva kwezingozi.
Abasebenzi bahogele izinhlayiya ezinemisebe ezibeka izinsongo zomdlavuza impilo yonke. Abanye bashaywe ugesi noma bashiswa i-asidi noma basha. Ziye zafafazwa ngamakhemikhali anobuthi futhi zasikwa imfucumfucu evela ezigubhu zensimbi eziqhumayo.
Imibiko yoMnyango wezaMandla isola inqwaba yezimbangela, okuhlanganisa ingcindezi yokukhiqiza, izinqubo zokusebenza ezingalungile, ukuxhumana okubi, ukuqeqeshwa okunganele, ukugadwa okunganele kanye nokunganaki ubungozi.
Kodwa izinkampani ezizimele ezikhokhelwa nguhulumeni ukuze ziqhube lezi zikhungo azivami ukuba zibhekane nezinhlawulo ezinkulu zezezimali, ngisho nalapho abalawuli bephetha ngokuthi izinkampani zenze amaphutha noma zingakunaki ngokwanele ukuphepha. Izinhlawulo eziphansi zishiya abakhokhi bentela ukuthi baxhase iningi lokuhlanzwa nokulungiswa kwezindawo ezingcolile ngemuva kwezingozi izikhulu ezithe kwakungamelwe zenzeke.
Phakathi nophenyo lonyaka olwakhelwe ekubuyekezweni kwezinkulungwane zamakhasi amarekhodi kanye nezingxoxo nenqwaba yezikhulu zikahulumeni zamanje nezangaphambili kanye nabasebenzi bosonkontileka, i-Centre for Public Integrity ithole:
