Because, as has been shown time after time, the MoM is extraordinarily
incompetent.

Probably because almost nobody at the MoM is willing to do so. The MoM
is perfectly willing to harass nice little boys like Harry Potter but
it would take real courage to confront a dark wizard who was powerful
enough to use a unforgivable curse and was crazy enough to actually do
so; unfortunately courage is a virtue in very short supply in the MoM.
 I'm not saying everybody at the Mom is a coward, Arthur Tonks and
Shacklebolt certainly are not cowards, but they are the exception.
Most MoM employees have a disability, they lack a spine.
