"with the promise of returning back to the civil service and on time, a condition he failed to fulfill and thereby caused economic loss to the government of The Gambia."
If you give a promise and then ignore it then you are unreliable and consequently untrustworthy.
"The man who is so conscious of the rectitude of his intentions as to be willing to open his bosom to the inspection of the world, is already in possession of one of the strongest pillars of a decided character. The course of such a man will be firm and steady, because he has nothing to fear from the world, and is sure of the approbation and support of Heaven."
WILLIAM WIRT, speech at Rutgers College, Jul. 20, 1830
