The Islamic Republic newspaper claims that the Raisi administration is trying to conceal the corruption of Debsh tea.
The Islamic Republic newspaper wrote that during his recent trip to Khuzestan, Raisi said, ‘I must not hear that bribery, corruption, and unhealthy relationships have, God forbid, infiltrated any office.’
It is clear that this statement serves as a warning, meaning the President wants to tell the office employees, their heads, and managers at various levels that offices in the Islamic Republic system must be clean and free of bribery and corruption.
The biggest case of bribery, corruption, and unhealthy relationships is the Debsh tea scandal, which occurred under this very administration. Unfortunately, efforts have been made to keep it quiet and to present it as a non-issue. The existence of such corruption in offices and governmental agencies in a broader sense has caused public services to be disrupted, nepotism to become widespread, and favoritism and exploitation to become ordinary and commonplace.
The problem with the senior managers of the system is that their tasks are carried out in the best possible way and with the utmost speed through a phone call or recommendation. They never feel that there is an issue in the offices named delaying people, procrastination, and postponement. This is why the cries of the people about the many hassles they face in offices for even the smallest tasks do not reach the ears of these gentlemen, and if they do, they are neither understandable nor believable to them.
