Did these contracts represent good value for the taxpayer? That’s all that should matter here.
No doubt! And on top of that his father in law passes 50% of money he’ll make to children in need.
FCA partnering with an it company based in India. Get ready for rampant misuse of data and scam calls.
As I remember, this company still services Russian oil companies.
I’m sure if there’s a conflict of interests, then Rishi can launch an enquiry to exonerate his family. Probably get a friend to run the enquiry so they can get some money too.
I suspect this is the only reason Rishi is PM – and the trade deal with India.
The chumocracy is running in overdrive to endure the maximum amount can be drained from the public coffers into private pockets before the tories are forced out for a generation.
A company his wife has interests in gets a government contract.
A company his father in law founded gets a government contract….
Almost like corruption is happening in plane sight.
Now hos FIL gonna force 70hr work weeks in his his company
I always think that the appearance of impropriety or conflict of interest should be the standard applied.
The goalposts have moved to such an extent that it feels like only cases where those things can be obviously proven (almost to a criminal rather than civil) level are even looked at as a cause for concern.
Were Infosys the best bidders for these contracts?
Probably. Was this to such an extent that it’s worth the appearance of potential impropriety? Almost certainly not.
This whole thread is basically a conspiracy theory.
I’m going to play somewhat dumb here – if Sunak wasn’t on any procurement scoring panel and nobody directly in the cabinet or related to him was on the scoring panel or had any influence on the tender (so no direct conflict of interest) and this was competively tendered and Infosys provided the best scoring bid (I’m assuming it was quality and price) and the procurement hasn’t been gamed in any way (have seen public procurements that have been gamed due to abusable scoring mechanisms) – what’s the issue?
