There is nothing stopping them, but there is nothing motivating them to hire competent people either. From my experience, every single time, they hire "friends". "Friends" with no expertise or skill.

That does not mean every single thing can be run better privately. Emergency services, healthcare, utilities, mass transit, ... There are areas that for one reason or another are better being government run (in spite of the mismanagement), but they are relatively few.
