Bribery
It's a quiet day at work, some fascinating stories in the local news:
"He added that officers who were paid less were more prone to security breaches. He said such officers had access to operation rooms, weapons and missiles, and could pose a threat to national security if they were tempted by bribes." http://www.thenational.ae/news/uae-n...ays-fnc-member |

So as per usual in this part of the world, it's all about money and nothing to do with ethics.

The pay parity is an excellent idea and long overdue. Has anyone noticed a number of recent cases where police officers stand accused of textbook street-thuggery? False arrests, excessive force, petty thefts, assault (all kinds). I would be surprised if the accused aren't from the lower-paid group. |

I guess no police officers in any other part of the world are known to take bribes then?

Many countries are far far worse.
Talking of bribery and corruption, anyone been reading about the IOC member and illegal sales of tickets? |

Sure, all emerging markets are corrupt but it is easy to say that as it's mostly 'in your face'. The developed countries really are not much better - it's just in the background and so you don't think it happens. |

I knew you would say that. The truth is all countries suffer corruption in many forms... Think about the upcoming BAE order in lieu of Timmy, what do you call that? What about Dr. Kelly?

Are you suggesting that the UK is more corrupt than the UAE?

There is a big land mass on the Eastern Side of the Map in Yellow! - Shouldn't this be in Red?
Some info about the survey, how it's compiled and criticisms here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrupt...ceptions_Index Of course, it is impossible to prove who is best/worst and we go on personal experiences and what we read. |

We may not demand gold in bags put on the table but money being syphoned around through related companies and all that kind of stuff is very prevalent. It may be a paradox of sorts but I find the "honesty" of the corruption or bribery here to be very refreshing. I don't consider it an issue for project tendering, its just an alternative form of tendering. The people who complain about it in business should either look to themselves and forget these kind of markets or embrace it and know how to operate this way. |
