Wondering, how are the tasks assigned to all these task force - are monitored and followed up with - for example if there are action items identified in meeting - how it is tracked for completion or if the action item has dependency upon another unit - how both unit are working together and effectively to complete the assigned task. Lastly, I am hoping that action item / assigned works are time boxed. - Thanks!

As a first step to combat perhaps the root evil of the country - "Corruption" - a task force has been made and is marked as 'Complete'. However, asked by someone earlier, when does the government expect the results of this to come by, i.e. when are we expecting the "looted" wealth back? If this cannot be answered, this too I'm afraid not at all a credible action, an utter waste of resources just like previous governments.
