A RECENT HIGH-STAKES showdown
revealed the extreme lengths rival camps will go to sway outcomes. As a
politically sensitive matter was deliberated, two rivals, including a Cabinet
Secretary, quickly organised fundraisers, not for charity but to allegedly
bribe officials. Sources say some arbitrators played both sides, pledging
support to each but ultimately favouring the highest bidder. The aggrieved camp
now threatens to expose these double-dealers for reneging on promises despite
receiving six-figure payoffs.
