Why government change agents are what they are?

A government servant always worried about being questioned by any one or every one. They are in dilemma as general public considers them the king where as the politicians treat them the means to achieve their aspirations (plum position or plum money). In reality they are neither means nor the kings. They always want both aspects of the cake both eat it & keep it.  In the process they do not take decisions on issues which are not falling in these two boundaries & will always search for the pretexts not to do it. They are always scared for such decisions & treat these issues as threat to their job. Therefore leave them unattended until it deteriorates to the level of intolerance. Ultimately development issues are the casuality. Until decision making among bureaucrats comes out of this dilemma country can not develop. As development workers we face this day in day out & wait for Egypt like revolution.
