Rather a shame that there is not a law that forbids anyone in your next family generation working in government to prevent nepotism 

So now it's the old boys network setting up the old girls network...

No nepotism there. Strictly on merit and no brown envelopes changed hands. I'm so glad she is in Anutin's department, and so glad Anutin is the key figure in the government ???? He's just so wise and totally unaffected ????
