TURKMENISTAN'S former general prosecutor publicly confessed to taking bribes yesterday, begging president-for-life Saparmurat Niyazov for forgiveness in a tearful plea broadcast on state television.
Kurmanbibi Atadzhanova was accused of taking bribes and stealing state property including 25 cars, 36 villas, 2,000 cattle and 30,000 buckets.
"Great Leader, I admit everything, but I beg you to forgive me, don't jail me," she said in a sobbing confession on television. "I have three daughters."
An indifferent-looking Mr Niyazov appeared in the same programme and told Atadzhanova: "You have to return everything you've stolen. The president can't forgive everyone. I just don't understand it. Why do you need 30,000 buckets?"
Cut and pasted from the story (

He was playing real life Katamari Damacy obviously.

He's a bucket collector, obviously.

Sell them to someone who needs lots of buckets?
I'm guessing they weren't for personal use.

Bribing someone with buckets of something (gold, oil, crack, babies) makes some amount of sense. Just plain buckets is another story.

Does that mean I can bribe you with 30,000 buckets full of crack babies.
