This is a public service, aren't the voters responsible? They could have voted in competent leaders.

This is it exactly. The voters are the ones who are ultimately responsible, and they'll be the ones to ultimately pay, just as it should be. They should be voting for competent leaders, and for sufficient taxes to pay decent salaries to attract good IT talent, but they don't, so this is what they get.

The voters are not one person. Sadly democracy ends up being the fascism of the many.
