How and why the NKF scandal should be in the centre of the IBA conference

Why the NKF scandal matters to the IBA.....

If any proof be needed that civil defamation suits can and are being misused, the NKF scandal should be a shining example. The bone of contention is that such suits are used to silence critism and create a climate of fear, even when things are not going right.

The fact that the NKF CEO's high salary, the use of defamation suits and the non-transparency of the organisation bear striking similarities to the way our executive wing of the government is running.

This pervasive mindset not only exist in the public or private sector but has spread like wildfire to, of all communities, charitable organisations.
