Questions government must answer
1. Why would government officials be paid handsomely to defend the people's interests reward themselves with huge sums of money for doing the work they are paid for?
2. If indeed the money was meant to reward and motivate staff, what criterion was used to make the payments?
3. If the decision to reward these officials was administrative, how come doctors or government soldiers, lectures who save lives on a daily basis do not receive bonuses?
4. If these payments were in good faith, why wouldn't URA and Attorney General's office share this information with the public in the spirit of accountability?
