Regrettably the government have fallen into the trap of being less
than open, and with this one the question is not just whether they
have been selling citizenships, but if so where the sale proceeds
ended up. This leaves the government in the situation where even if
they now front up with more information about these cases (really, how difficult is it to get 138 files opened and read the recommendations
fo approval and any notes made by the approving minister), thee is
stil that uneasy feeling that they were trying to hide something.
In the interests of clearing the names of those invovled, and
maintaining confidence in our system, it is important that these be investigated by someone independent, and logically that should be the Auditor-general, who should also be given full access to National
party and party related finances
