rolf wroteAre you trying to tell me that corruption of a high-placed governement official is irrelevant to his performance?
didn't say that at all. said it was not the reason of ALL the problems.
for example, take an extremely corrupt minister. he's supposed to do something but he didn't get an approval from the government (yes, a minister doesn't have a carte blanche, he can't do whatever he wants, even withing his ministry). did this thing didn't happen because he was corrupt? and if it was not his fault on this one if it didn't happen, does it mean that he is NOT corrupt? it's 2 unrelated things in THIS specific case. he can be corrupt and yet, not be the cause of this particular problem.
rolf wroteAnd how would you know about any show stopper, nobody knows what happens in the government reunions.
some people have family members in the government.
and for involvement of other ministries, it's facts. it's not a secret, it's how the structure of our government is. any project a minister wants to make needs his approval, the prime minister's and the finance minister's and if any other ministry is involved (like public works for example, if you want to lay some cables underground), you also need the signatures of these involved ministries. ONE signature missing, and the project is on hold/delayed/canceled.
so if there's a signature missing, you don't even need someone on the inside, the signature is simply missing, it's no secret. and basil did show the papers...
