Case Study 1: You are a senior officer in a government department responsible for implementing a large-scale infrastructure project that promises to bring significant economic benefits to the region. However, the project involves the displacement of several indigenous communities who have lived on the land for generations. These communities are protesting the project, arguing that their cultural heritage and livelihoods are at risk. Some NGOs have taken up their cause, leading to widespread media attention. On the other hand, your superiors are pressuring you to expedite the project to meet political deadlines. You are aware that rushing the project could lead to inadequate compensation and resettlement for the affected communities. Questions: 1. As a civil servant, how would you balance the need for economic development with the ethical obligation to protect the rights and welfare of the indigenous communities? 2. Discuss the ethical dilemmas you face in this situation and how public service values such as integrity, impartiality, and empathy should guide your actions. 3. Suggest a course of action that aligns with both the ethical responsibilities of your position and the expectations of your superiors. (250 words, 20 Marks)

Case Study 2: You are the head of a regulatory authority in charge of ensuring compliance with environmental standards. Recently, you discovered that a major industrial corporation has been violating environmental regulations by discharging harmful pollutants into a river. Upon investigation, you find that this corporation has strong political connections, and several senior officials are trying to influence you to overlook the violations. Meanwhile, the local community, dependent on the river for their livelihood, is suffering from the pollution, which has led to severe health issues and loss of agricultural productivity. You are also aware that taking strict action against the corporation could lead to job losses and economic downturn in the region. Questions: 1. How would you handle the pressure from political and senior officials while ensuring that environmental laws are upheld? 2. Discuss the conflict between economic considerations and environmental protection in this scenario. How should values such as integrity, transparency, and accountability shape your response? 3. Propose a balanced solution that addresses the environmental damage, the welfare of the local community, and the economic implications of your decision. (250 words, 20 Marks)
