The perversion of governance: creating problems to profit from solving them

For what the Aquino government has done in creating and implementing the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP), there is no term in modern political science and public administration. “Misrule” and “maladministration” are the nearest words that come to mind.

I am referring to the bizarre phenomenon of a supposedly constitutional government resorting to deliberately creating problems for itself, so it can look good and profit from solving them.
