A bigger conflict of interest, looking at it

ISN'T THAT A BIGGER CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

Even though it is done in good faith, allowing private companies to bear the costs of government officials overseas trip may be construed subjectively as tantamount to one kind of corruption.

Prominent blogger Tuan Syed Akbar Ali questions the necessity of this newest practice.

"Every day the news gets more shocking. If private companies are sponsoring 80%, 50%, 30% or 20% of the costs of overseas visits by gomen officials isn't that a serious conflict of interest?  Especially when the visits are for official business? 

"Isn't that called 'buying influence' for the profit of the private companies? Private companies spend money to make profits. They will be more than ready to pay for gomen officials' domestic or overseas trips as long as it is profitable for them. Surely the gomen officials will feel beholden or obliged to the private companies who are spending money on them. 

*What does the gomen's general orders say about gomen officials going on any trip, official or non-official (domestic or overseas) paid for by private companies? What is the opinion of the AG's Chambers or even of the MACC from the point of view of the law?" Syed Akbar wrote in his blog, OutSyed The Box, published on Thursday 21 November 2024.
