Until the termination process was finalised, their services were suspended, disallowing them from appearing in any court when prosecutors read the charge-sheet.

These officers were in Thailand on a US-funded training programme and resided in the Conrad Hotel where staff and visitors had accused them of sexual assault.

Sodomite | 7 years ago | Reply Its years of neglect; education, training and compliance to law that is missing in our Government Officers. They think they can get away as they do in Pakistan. Not only should they lose their jobs and pensions they should also go to jail, where they can plea bargain their release like everyone who go to jail. .
