Our whistleblower also exposed the practice of buying rations for the BDF - not at the best available price - but at the price that would most benefit those seeking kickbacks:
BDF Whistleblower, Ex-Commanding Officer - Services and Support Battalion
"And as far as I'm concerned, pork chops is pork chops. But you would find out that you might get pork chops from supplier A for five dollars and then supplier B for six dollars and supplier C for ten dollars and you're getting the same pork chops."
"Why is that so? I can't tell you. As far as I'm concerned, when we want a certain quantity of the item, it reduces it when the price have to be ranging in that manner."
"And then not only that too as well, you find out that you cannot spend the amount of money that you actually have because in some cases, most of the product, as in the pork chops, would have been gotten from the guy who is selling it for nine dollars rather than the one who is selling it for five dollars."
"And why do you think that is? That is, you and I know it's because someone is getting their kickbacks and they want their portion of that money that is going to that supplier there."
"From my observation, rarely you will find that you'll get the best item for the best price. In most cases, what suits the individual who is pilfering is what they would go with."
