Most occupants of senior public offices have devised new tricks of insulating themselves from scrutiny whenever they are challenged or called to account for poor services or incompetence.

A trend is emerging where constitutional and independent commissioners need not worry about threats to remove them from office. They need not bother about accountability and integrity questions as long as their community kinsmen are holding political seats.

The holders of the independent and apolitical institutions who have been threatened with job loss due to allegations of integrity and incompetence issues have been mobilising their tribesmen to protest their innocence.
