Finland has an own personal problem

Pekka Himanen's drunken goofing around star-
ted when the money flowed to the bank account.
Have you heard?
Mental and justice problems with Gov't's 700,000-euro order from Pekka Himanen.
Let me tell you about union of between daily policy and `science´.  Not for the faint-hearted. 
Now Finland’s Chancellor of Justice says that a controversial 700,000-euro report commissioned by Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen did not conform to the principles of good governance. The Chancellor was drawn into the fray on the basis of complaints about the government's way of doing business by members of the public.

Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen had come under heavy fire for allegedly violating existing tendering procedures in ordering a pricey report from consultant Pekka Himanen.
And in other hand, it - this easy money -  was too much for Himanen. His head did not last, and he, among other things, had to deal with the police.

Back in February the daily media picked up the story of a 700,000-euro report on future competitiveness commissioned by the government of philosopher-consultant Pekka Himanen without a public tender.

The procedure drew immediate criticism from many quarters, prompting a hearing by Parliament’s Constitutional Law Committee into the legality of Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen’s actions in ordering the report without resorting to established tendering procedures.

In a statement issued Friday on the case Chancellor of Justice Jaakko Jonkka said that the principles of good governance required that even projects of this nature be treated openly. He said that openness in such cases is upheld by introducing a competitive bidding process.
Sure, good governance requires openness.
At the time that the story broke, the Prime minister’s office said that it was felt that the research project wasn’t suited to existing procurement procedures.
There were ten complaints from the public opened the door for the Chancellor to consider and pronounce on the case. Although an ultimate guardian of Finnish law, he was prevented from offering an opinion by the fact that the Parliament had already decided the case.
The Chancellor also rapped one of the financiers – the Academy of Finland, which provides funding for scientific research – for abandoning its established procedures in bankrolling the report.
Jaakko Jonkka noted that in the case of the Himanen report the Academy did not define its criteria for granting funding and the basis for a funding decision, as is normally the case.

Himanen's report, the value in scientifically is almost invalid, and the the whole substance comes to well in other sources, and while the analysis may with good reason, call to some half-baked.
