The aim of the underlying study to this paper is to evaluate the audit committees in the government ministries in Namibia; by assessing their composition, the function and regulations that govern committees. The study used a qualitative approach of inquiry. A purposive sampling method was used as the researcher selected ministries with audit committees. Thematic and content analysis was used in this study. Both primary and secondary and data were used. On primary data, interviews were conducted and recorded with a voice recorder. Secondary data was during the review of existing literature on the subject. The study found that from the 4 government ministries with audit committees, only one ministry consisted of independent members as well as an independent chairperson, while 3 ministries are chaired by members within their organisations. There was clear evidence of lack of accounting / financial /auditing competence among the committee members. This trend is contrary to the best practice which requires that the chairperson of the audit committees be independent of the ministry as well as the members of the audit committee. The finding indicates possibility of lack of capacity to carry out the functions of audit committees; weak internal control systems; chances of conflict of interest and complacency due to the lack of independence. There is avenue for further research as more ministries in Namibia are now establishing their audit committees, especially as the Namibian Code of Corporate Governance (the NamCode) gains more popularity among the public sector.

This paper examines the moderating effect of firm characteristics on the relationship between strategic change and performance of firms in the alcohol industry in Kenya. The alcohol industry makes a substantial contribution to the country's GDP. For instance, the East Africa Breweries Limited (EABL), Kenya was feted by KRA as the second top tax payer to the government for the 2011/2012 financial year. However, clear picture of the moderating influence of firm characteristics on the relationship between strategic change occasioned Alcoholic Drinks Control Act (ADCA), 2010 and performance has not emerged from previous studies. Specifically, the study investigated the effect of managerial capabilities, product dimensions and brand portfolio on performance of alcohol industry in Kenya. Previous studies dwelt on effect of limited aspects of strategic change such as marketing leaving out critical aspects like scope of strategies, resource deployment patterns and competitive advantages and the moderating effect of firm characteristics. The study was underpinned by the Resource-Based Theory (RBT). The study adopted a mixed method survey research design using qualitative and quantitative methods. The population was 25 local firms registered by Kenya Revenue Authority by 2012 and approved by National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse, (NACADA) by 2015. A saturated sample consisted of 100 respondents to get primary data. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses that firm characteristics moderate the relationship between strategic change and performance. The R<sup>2</sup> after incorporating interaction effect was .682 (p=.004) and ΔR<sup>2</sup>=.033(p=004) implying firm characteristics significantly moderate the relationship.

Abstract The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has become a super institution with extraordinary restraint. With the new Corruption Eradication Commission Law, some people think that the KPK has been weakened, which has been an institution loved by the public, even though the government denies that the new KPK Law has not weakened the KPK at all. One of the new things is the formation of the KPK Supervisory Body, one of which has the authority to grant permission to the KPK to conduct searches, which in fact has an impact on the problems at hand. The method used is a normative legal research method. The approach used is a statutory approach. The data used are secondary data obtained by literature study and primary data obtained by conducting interviews with related party respondents. There has been a shift in the meaning of Barriers to Justice as stated in Article 221 of the Criminal Code with Article 221 of the Corruption Eradication Law where Article 221 of the Criminal Code views Obstruction of Justice as a material offense while for Article 21 of the Corruption Eradication Law, Judicial Obstruction is seen as a formal offense. On the other hand, the actions of the Supervisory Board in granting licenses for searches, confiscation, etc. are not automatically considered a disturbance of justice unless it can be proven that the elements of wrongdoing committed by the Supervisory Board can be proven.   Keywords : Corruption, Authority, Obstruction Of Justice.   ABSTRAK Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) telah menjadi lembaga super dengan pengekangan yang luar biasa. Dengan adanya Undang-Undang KPK yang baru, sebagian orang menilai telah terjadi pelemahan KPK yang selama ini menjadi institusi yang dicintai masyarakat, padahal pemerintah membantah bahwa Undang-Undang KPK yang baru sama sekali tidak melemahkan KPK. Salah satu hal baru yaitu adalah pembentukan Badan Pengawas KPK yang salah satunya memiliki kewenangan untuk memberikan izin kepada KPK untuk melakukan penggeledahan, yang ternyata berdampak pada permasalahan yang sedang dihadapi. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan statutori. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder yang diperoleh dengan studi pustaka dan data primer diperoleh dengan melakukan wawancara dengan responden pihak terkait. Telah terjadi pergeseran makna Hambatan Keadilan sebagaimana tertuang dalam Pasal 221 KUHP dengan Pasal 221 Undang-Undang Pemberantasan Korupsi dimana Pasal 221 KUHP memandang Obstruksi Keadilan sebagai delik material sedangkan untuk Pasal 21 Undang-Undang Pemberantasan Korupsi, Obstruksi Peradilan dipandang sebagai delik formal. Di sisi lain, tindakan Dewan Pengawas dalam pemberian izin penggeledahan, penyitaan, dan lain-lain tidak serta merta dianggap sebagai gangguan keadilan kecuali dapat dibuktikan bahwa unsur-unsur perbuatan salah yang dilakukan Dewan Pengawas dapat dibuktikan. Kata Kunci: Korupsi, Otoritas, Obstruksi Keadilan.

The problem in the health sector is one of the complicated problems faced by the government, this is evidenced by the extraordinary events (KLB) in various regions, one of which is the Hepatitis A outbreak in Depok that accumulates 306 cases. The main cause of these outbreaks is the low awareness and mentality of the public regarding the application of healthy and clean lifestyles and the government's preventive ability in terms of policies. Seeing this problem, the City Government of Depok has a strategic plan in the form of the Smart Healthy City (SHC) Depok policy as one of the policy efforts in order to improve the quality of public health through implementing technology and increasing competence in realizing the policy. This paper aims to review how the SHC Depok strategic plan policy can be collaboratively updated to carry out a mental revolution not only at the local government level, but also that policy can be understood by the public. The goal of the mental revolution is not only towards society, but also from the side of the government and various other parties. This paper was compiled from primary data in the form of in-depth interviews with various informants and secondary data from books, journals, and electronic sources. The expected outcome of the SHC Depok policy renewing itself is to improve the quality of services and improve the quality of public health based on preventive and collaborative actions.
