Temptation
Here are a few of the stories told to programme managers about how staff travelling with cash had lost it:
- a project officer said her bag was taken from the bus when she went to get a snack
- an administrator was robbed in a bar
- a driver reported that the cashier whom he was driving to a remote office asked him to stop at a border town where the cashier got out and crossed the border with a bag containing all the office salaries and cash advances.
The amounts lost were often far more than the person's annual salary. In some cases the manager thought the story was probably true.
