Case Study 1: You are the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a government-run public sector company responsible for the construction of a large dam. The project has significant national importance, but there have been allegations of corruption in the awarding of contracts. During an internal audit, you discover that some senior officials in your department have accepted bribes from contractors in exchange for awarding contracts at inflated prices. The evidence is clear, but the officials involved are influential and have close ties with powerful political leaders. Exposing the corruption could jeopardize your career and the project’s timeline, but remaining silent would mean compromising on probity and public trust. Questions: 1. What are the ethical dilemmas you face in this situation? How does the principle of probity in governance guide your decision-making process? 2. Discuss the potential consequences of both exposing the corruption and remaining silent. How should values such as transparency, accountability, and integrity shape your actions? 3. Propose a course of action that upholds the principles of probity in governance while managing the risks involved. (250 words, 20 Marks)
