Selective "fixing"

THE EAR - The Freeman

Fixer in hiding. Government offices that handle transactions from the public maintain a poster on conspicuous places reminding the transacting public not to engage in "fixers." This practice is bolstered by the Anti-Red Tape Act that prohibits government offices from accepting transactions with fixers. But a taxi driver revealed to The Ear that fixers are still transacting in the transportation offices of government, although hiding and engaging in remote manner, perhaps afraid of being entrapped.

Dilly-dally to drivers. One fixer who went around the two government offices that deal with public transport system, but processing with haste the penalties of their boss, the transport operators involving taxi units that have violations. The Ear learned that these fixers would only be readily available to moneyed operators, but applying dilly-dally tactics to poor drivers. These drivers are poor, anyway, that they could hardly give "grease money."
