Without information on what exactly transpired and the rights and wrongs of the actions of those involved, and added to the suspicion that naturally arises in such matters involving high state officials versus lowly public officers, it will always be felt that the high state official was in breach and was being shielded. In such circumstances, it would be natural for the public to conclude that when the PSC, not merely the chairman, takes a decision against a junior officer, such a decision would be biased. If by some chance of luck or ill-luck one or two of the officers involved were to come before the PSC on some other disciplinary matter, it would be impossible for the PSC to credibly deliberate on the case. The CoP must know that his arrogance is not acceptable; that he has a public duty to inform in this and other matters and he has no power and even less authority to seek to silence public opinion. A society does not arrive over-night at a point where institutions are without credibility and governments find it impossible to govern, they get there incrementally through incidents and attitudes as described above.
