But nevertheless, this list must be published, handed over, broadcast time after time. I work for a regional government, and to me there are a few things that are sacred : when you're paid by the taxpayers' money, as an anonymous public servant or as a prominent Minister, you MUST have an inflexible morality. You MUST deserve your rank and your pay. When you're in a honored position, you MUST honor that position.
