Various family members and their cronies have been dipping their hands in various tills throughout my 20+ years in residence.
It happens here at the petrol factory all the time, although less so since the National Audit Court have been given the werewithal to sniff around and ask questions.
Previously, as long as there was enough to go around, it was not a problem, but in GF's case the money simply isn't there any more.
The trouble is, the people right at the top of the GF food chain appear oblivious of this fact, plus no doubt a few people do not want questions asked about where the most recently purloined readies went.
While I agree that the powers that be would lose huge amounts of face losing their national carrier, that will only ensure that they keep one, not that it doesn't end up doing nothing but bus trips around the Gulf and human cargo flights to the subcontinent....
Just my 2 fils worth
