  And the Sour Mango goes to ...
Dear Secretary-General of the Domestic Trade, Consumer Affairs and Co-operatives Ministry,

LET me refresh your memory by referring to the exchange of a series of email last December. Of course, you thought you won the battle by sealing your lips on the name of the advertising agency or agencies that produce commercials for the ministry. I did not throw in the towel after you did several about-turns after your note which among others read: "The Ministry agrees that publicity campaigns need to show results. Only then can it be justifiably said that it was money worth spending. It also goes without saying that good governance and transparency must underpin the selection process of the advertising company(s) and this is normally achievable through an open tender system. Finally, there has to be an evaluation process that will measure the outcome of these campaigns."
