One thing I cannot understand, for a political appointee ( such he DSM regional commissioner) and the regional head of security and defence coming out in public and saying "so and so" tried to bribe me. and "so and so" is allowed to carry on with the business of the day because you refused the bribe.
The act of someone trying to bribe a public official more so political official surely is a grave concern. But, even the RC is more concerned with who will the culprits try to bribe tommorrow rather than nip the problem in the bud. The RC should have had them arrested for the act to create corruption and the act of undermining/disrespecting the office of the RC. It is hard to fathom when then the same political appointees claim they are fighting corruption, there is a major difference between not partaking because the boss is strict and not part-taking altogether subsquently futher taking steps to fight corruption (by pressing charges against the supposed culprits).
It is of concern for a political appointee to come out publicly and say "so and so" wanted to bribe me and implied nothing to fight corruption but let them go and now suspects his subordinates of partaking. Someone has to atone for these sins, this should not be acceptable or the executive branch will be setting a precedence to allow leaders with authority not feel obliged to fight corruption but avoid partaking corruption at a personal level perhaps until a different leadership which may not frown on corruption.
Short of that how will the executive branch hold other RCs accountable if they too let people who try to undermine the office of the RC by offering bribes, will there be a double standard? Will there be reprimanded? Will they not? Who is respinsible to fight corruption? Is it not a mandate of any political appointee implementing the CCM manifesto and the constitution of the URT to fight corruption, and yet one can go to the public and say proudly they were almost bribed and these criminals are walking free spitited without a worry in the world.
Something is wrong somewhere, that the executive branch has to address perhaps it needs to train its LGAs on their responsibilities as much as trainings and seminars are despised. Short of that, key aspects tjat cement the intergrity of this administration in the public's eye may be eroded.
Mind you I hold no malice againt the brother, and I think he is trying to the best of his abilities and skills set.I jist feel had and has the reaponsibility yo do more in incidences as such, he CANNOT just let them.go on their merry way.
