I understand that but the problem is that while other State bodies were in the same position, their employees did not get bonuses and yet the board decided to overrule what was national policy at the time by paying out these bonuses. I do not understand how OSi could make that decision with an attitude of thinking that as it thought the work had been done well, it would not pay heed to the FEMPI legislation and would simply pay out these bonuses.
