When it comes to government projects, I always wonder how many people involved treat it only as an opportunity to make as much money as possible without being caught - after several years you just sweep the whole thing under carpet so nobody remembers how much money has been wasted and you're set.
- zhte415 11y agoThis is true not only of government projects, but of all projects. Anyone in charge of a budget is potentially corrupt. I'd argue that it is more common in corporates than in government, because the personal damage that could be inflicted is less. A company doesn't want reputation damaged by being involved in fraudulent bidding (so will sweep under the carpet readily), and as long as the job gets done, nobody cares (unless internal politics get stirred). The employee may be fired, but they can go somewhere else. And all is off the public record.
