As soon as large government infrastructure and IT projects are released, the usual suspects emerge from the hay having slept off their previous meal at the feeding trough. For some reason performance targets on government contracts are linked neither to the gonads of the chief executives of corporation performing the work nor the pensions of the staff in the authorising agency. So hear we have another monumental waste of cash. In the UK it is the thieves of the likes of Capita, Carillion, IBM, Serco, Accenture etc. who prey on government agencies to boost their bonuses and regularly deliver nothing. It’s good to see it’s the same on the other side if the pond.
