That’s like… that’s like an open admission that they plan to do corrupt things.
I mean imagine if your contractor said, “Well, I’d like to do this job for you but I want you to agree that you don’t need a quote and you won’t hire an inspector to check my work.” Or if your dealer at a casino said “Let me just deal the hands out behind this screen here where you can’t see what I’m doing, trust me bro.”
Transparency is the only thing that keeps politicians or business people honest.
When they openly say they don’t want transparency, they are telling us that they plan to be dishonest. It’s that simple.
