Last week I was doing a Key Leader Engagement (KLE) with the Provincial Police Chief. We are getting ready to do a massive train up for all police in the province, and I needed his help with some resources. I needed him to re-allocate about 20 personnel to cover police duties in the first district we are going to train. He, of course, says no. He claims to have requested from the Ministry of The Interior an increase in the number of authorized personnel by 150. When I asked him where these men would go, he replied that they would be for the Provincial HQ. I know where they would go, to man his personnal army. The guy is so corrupt, I can't stand it! Next, I asked for ammunition to do marksmanship training for his police. He's hoarding his ammo (which belongs to the police department)and doesn't even care if his police, the men he's responsible for, can defend themselves. Natrually, he turns it around and says, "You can provide the ammunition. You are American, you have lots of money, and you can go buy the ammo." At that point I just wanted to walk across the room and back-hand him. Then I would have said, "Who fought the Russians?! It certainly wasn't you because you people can't seem to do anything for yourselves!" Being the diplomat that I am, I just laughed it off and told him we'd have to work together to accomplish the marksmanship training.
By the way, only 5 days until I go home!
