I do not believe it. I am making it broader than the individual. I refer to Members of the Houses who often purport to do the same. We cannot have a situation where public servants purport to gift money to the State with no public accountability structure for it. They are not individuals who have no accountability structure. They are public servants and in their public role they suggest they are making a gift to the State but the State cannot confirm whether it received it.
