Very true. This culture permeates through the entire civil service stack.
Each person's KPI is assessed based on the secondary tasks they perform and the impact they brought to their organisation.
Those who can make their boss looks good, will be appraised favourably. If their boss can make their boss looks good, they get good appraisals.
Become an exercise in wayang. The ones who can wayang the best get rewarded.
