I suspect that Bong is suffering under what we used to call "the burden of competence".
With rapidly expanding populations to keep happy, "developing countries" ("emerging nations", whatever)* are usually under great political pressure to provide employment for indigenous folk.
So Government Institutions (with hospitals being a prime example) become increasingly (over-)staffed by "locals". Whether they are up to scratch matters far less (if at all) than who they actually are (nationality, family or tribal connections ...
etc.). Fair enough, you might say ... but what happens if (when) the performance of whole departments end up falling short for whatever reason?
Well (as we have seen in the example Bong has outlined - and from my own experiences, and those of others) "they" cast around trying to find competent hands in which to dump some (or even, in extreme cases, all) of their responsibilities.
Just a bit of "background", folks.

At what stage do they become "developed" (or when can we expect them to "emerge") ... or is this a permanent state of affairs; a position assumed (or claimed) relative to other countries?
