“The reasons behind this overenthusiasm also need to be investigated,” the TIB said. The finance ministry had earlier rejected the proposal to buy cars for the next government following criticism. But the renewed proposal to buy them at an even higher price has been labelled by TIB as a repetition of the “overzealous flattery” of some bureaucrats towards possible future ministers, similar to the practices during the previous “authoritarian” government. Why then is the Ministry of Public Administration so eager, in violation of the law, to purchase luxury Toyota Land Cruisers for future ministers? The organisation demanded that the proposal to buy cars for future ministers be cancelled immediately and deferred for a decision by the next government.
