Question 5 of 7

With approval from the Procurement and Contracting Division, the GIZ office purchases three to six project vehicles a year on particularly favourable terms from a local dealer. The dealer offers to let the procurement officer’s daughter ride one of his horses any time she wishes. The daughter hears of the offer, is excited and asks her father’s permission. May the procurement officer give his daughter permission to ride the dealer’s horses?

Of course. It is a great opportunity for the daughter.
Yes, the procurement officer can do what he likes outside work.
No, the dealer may be expecting the procurement officer to return the favour by granting him an undue advantage when the next order is placed.

Question 6 of 7

Yes, if they speed up the import process so that we can make the goods available to the project partner more quickly.
