Just over one month ago, it was reported in the press that an official in a state-owned company allegedly made a demand for a bribe. Since then, all that has happened is that the company issued a press statement denying the allegation. Corruption has destroyed many countries, and this is, of course, a very serious allegation of corruption which requires a thorough investigation. The agency which the government claims is charged with tackling corruption is the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU). At the very least, SOCU should have investigated the allegations and taken statements from the officer of the Company and sent the file for advice on prosecution.
With an investigation, this could either be proved or disproved with a record of the call log.
The fact that there has been no investigation or charges says to the entire world that the Granger administration is not serious about fighting corruption but is encouraging it and using state machinery for political persecution.
