FAQs

Why prohibit transfers in inspection and security posts?

To preserve continuity, prevent collusive reshuffling, and keep oversight credible—frequent transfers can be used to hide fraud or weaken defenses.

How does this relate to modern governance?

It resembles protected tenure for auditors/inspectors and stability for critical security appointments, limiting political interference.
