Excel Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Looks like they have identified one scape goat already, pretty quick work even before the investigation of the cause is completed. What next, all the RTP and RTN parties will be asked to return their back handers ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they are needed, possibly in other positions, to ensure proceeds of corruption are still channeled appropriately upwards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2here Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I suspect these kinds of moves serve two concurrent purposes … 1) it’s a societally acceptable way to “punish” someone… 2) it also avoids the loss-of-face that comes with making such a move to a public officer and in relation to a very public incident. Kind of like kids who get a score of 50/100… most will see the “50” and know that s/he failed …. but the use of 50/100 also avoids the labeling/shaming/embarrassment and paperwork that comes with having to deal with a true failing mark. At the level of the person in question, anyone who is involuntary transferred will be known as “…that guy”… but avoids a formal label of being demoted etc… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bloody late.... these establishments are allowed to operate under the watch of chiefs and police. Time to drain the swamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
