His first rule is "I must keep my job." Actually, how can I blame him for that? Nevertheless, his motivation is not service, necessarily, it is what I just mentioned, and his actions allude to that. "I must please my supervisor" is his motto. Honesty is not something that plays an essential role. It is only important if it can make him look good or possibly get him a promotion. Transparency is not a concept that he embraces. He loves his privacy. He loves his job. He is a bureaucrat. What do the guidelines say? What is the standard operational procedure?
What do the regulations say? He knows what they say. He is aware that some are being violated. But he says nothing. Why? The violations are advantageous to several of his supervisors. He "knows nothing about it." He is a "by the book guy," with some exceptions. He may be aware that some of the regulations do not apply for certain circumstances, therefore some of the violations will not be noticed or discussed. Nevertheless, he will do everything to keep himself in the clear, in case something "comes down." Certain things must just be ignored. They must not be presented. They must not be discussed. To him; honesty is just sometimes the best policy. He can defend his position. He is a bureaucrat.
