SECOND-IN-COMMAND UNDER FIRE, BUT BUREAUCRATS STAY UNSCATHED

The government’s second-in-command has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons, with the Opposition relentlessly targeting him over commissions and even dragging his wife into the controversy. But here’s the interesting part—while he remains under scrutiny, the bureaucrats working with him are walking away spotless. A little bird tells us that there’s a simple reason for this: they are never made part of these “discussions.” Unlike some officers who were closely aligned with the previous regime and are now feeling the heat, these bureaucrats are relieved to be left out of the loop. If—big if—a probe ever happens, they’ll have nothing to worry about. Given how things are playing out for others, that’s probably the safest place to be!
