मुझे जो बात सबसे ज़्यादा चौंकाने वाली लगती है, वह यह है कि सीनेट इसे एक योग्य 'ब्लाइंड ट्रस्ट' कहती है जबकि यह वास्तव में ऐसा नहीं है। चूंकि सीनेट का कहना है कि यह ठीक है, इसलिए सीनेट ने इसे एक राजनीतिक मुद्दा बना दिया है। यह फैसला मतदाता पर निर्भर करता है। लेकिन इसमें कोई दो राय नहीं है कि यह हितों का टकराव है।

What I find most appalling is the Senate calls it a qualified blind trust when it's not blind. Since the Senate says it's OK, the Senate has made it a political question. It's up to the voter. But there's no doubt it's a conflict of interest.

अमेरिका में, हमारे पास संघीय सरकार और कई राज्य सरकारों में परिवारवाद-विरोधी (नेपोटिज़्म) कानून हैं, क्योंकि रिश्तेदारों को नौकरी पर रखने की प्रथा से जनता के मन में यह विश्वास डगमगा जाता है कि सरकारी अधिकारी वास्तव में उस काम के लिए सबसे योग्य व्यक्ति को ही ढूंढ रहा है।

In America, we have anti-nepotism laws in the federal government and in lots of state governments, because the practice of hiring relatives undermines public confidence that the government official is actually finding best person for the job.

जनता के भरोसे की समस्या के अलावा, किसी रिश्तेदार को काम पर रखने से सरकारी संगठन के भीतर भी समस्याएँ पैदा होती हैं। इससे सरकारी अधिकारियों का मनोबल गिर सकता है। इससे इस बात को लेकर भ्रम पैदा हो सकता है कि अधिकारों का दायरा क्या है; दूसरे शब्दों में, हो सकता है कि उस रिश्तेदार के पास कोई खास पद न हो, लेकिन कई लोग उस रिश्तेदार की भूमिका को पद से कहीं ज़्यादा महत्वपूर्ण मान सकते हैं। राष्ट्रपति के दामाद को 'ना' कहना बहुत मुश्किल हो सकता है।

In addition to the problem of public confidence, hiring a relative also causes problems within the government organization. It can undermine the morale of government officials. It can cause confusion about what the lines of authority are; in other words, the relative may have a particular title, but many may perceive the relative's role as even more important than the title would suggest. It may be very difficult to say no to the president's son-in-law.
