Now, let us agree from the onset that we do not have an affidavit sworn proof of any wrong doing from the Director of the DIS right. Fine. That was never my point; my point is that the spy agency and the chief spy are on the news for the wrong reasons almost weekly.
This is fundamental given that statutes aside, the DIS by and large remains- in the eyes of many- nothing more than a little rudimentary militia the likes of which are found in Central and Western parts of Africa. For many people, it is yet to be a fully fledged institution and for this reason, it should not be getting so much column and news space for the wrong reasons. See, spy networks globally pride in being the silent professionals, the DIS and its Director ought to do some soul searching around this issue: decide what they want to be.
There exist two choices: one is to be the silent professionals who get on with their jobs and get to be mentioned once every while for a great mission and then go down under again. The second option is to be a massive talk shop whose activities and image is forever on the news for all the wrong reasons, an entity in which discipline eventually dissipates and gets replaced by wanton ill discipline and failure to accomplish missions.
