[kictanet] Website - I GAVE A BRIBE

[Andrea Bohnstedt]

There's all that, and then also the minor point that even if there are
reports of corruption etc, typically nothing very impressive happens. I
remember all those lovely AngloLeasing recordings ....

People who were allegedly (just in case any lawyers are reading along)
involved plain simply denied it, and that was that.

And they went on merrily to continue their career in government, managing
ministries such as energy. And by 'managing', I'm not entirely sure what I
really mean to say right now.
