The Wildlife chap jst spill the beans after realizing that the amount was small. would he have been a good citizen if that figure was in dollars or with a a ka another zero. we have always stated tht corruption can only be eradicated when we improve conditions of service. in this case, tht 150 was very little to intice him.
