ZLATENICO OKOInterior Minister Matousek
BRIBERY INVESTIGATIONCarsky Ukrit, August 29, 5374: ZLATENICO OKO sources in the Auxiliary Presidential Palace of Carsky Ukrit have learned that Interior Minister Otmar Matousek gave an internal security report to the Council of Ministers which , simply put, indicated the electorate was generally satisfied with the policy direction of the Administration and was disinclined to follow anyone planning an overthrow but that few identified with the current leadership and that tolerance and respect was declining.
The primary reason was the low level rampant corruption that the public perceived as pervasive. Nobody thinks the Communists or Monarchists would do any better since they never have but there is gloomy feeling that no one ever will do anything about it hanging over the nation.
President Ignac Hodza indicated he for one had been pretty much absorbed in the question of MSCO survival and had not been thinking about corruption. Justice Minister Irena Vranjic thought the real objective was to instill some fear into the bottom of the bureaucracy bhut that to do that one needed to either have a massive purge or seriously prosecute some people in the middle at least or the top if possible.
Matousek suggested one possibility that might fit the bill was a situation in Doron Akigp Okrug where a number of DNS party officials including some members of the Narodna Sabor were selling government approval and government contract favors. Building inspectors, health inspectors, those who award government contracts for dredging, excavation, construction, maintenance and demolition as well as court and police officials all seem to be involved.
Justice Minister Vranjic stated that prosecutors would give this effort top priority. Interior Minister Matousek believed some initial cases could be investigated very quickly by the Federal Security service (FBS) and be ripe for consideration by prosecutors very soon. The President and Council of Ministers all indicated speed was imperative.
