The public sector still suffers from theft, which causes the government to receive public criticism, Minister K. D. Lal Kantha notes.


The minister states that the country faces no shortage of funds, and the actual issue remains the occurrence of theft.


Minister K. D. Lalt Kantha further mentions that the problem in the country at present is not a lack of money.


He states that when Rs. 100 is allocated, only Rs. 60 worth of work takes place, adding that theft still occurs in the public service and people continue to blame the current administration.
