Now more than a year after taking over, the government, it seems, has been duped by the company to buy the story that it could not implement the agreement because its operations were sabotaged by CSC workers and management.
The government has now taken the CSC to court to place it under judicial management because it is “financially distressed”, thus literally exonerating Boustead Beef, according to papers filed at the High Court by Agriculture Minister Anxious Masuka.
Masuka may have filed the papers but they have all the hallmarks of having been drafted by Boustead Beef as they have the language and claims that the company has made since it took over the CSC in February last year.
Some of the claims are so bizarre and so glaring that they should have raised an alarm with the government drafters, unless there is something between the lines that the government wants to prove.
