Yes, of course.
When we talk about conflicts of interest, we often think of financial ones. For example, there may be a conflict of interest when someone owns a business and is elected or appointed by the government at the same time. However, are all conflicts of interest necessarily financial in nature?
For example, if a senior official appointed by the government covets a position and their appointment to that position depends on the office running smoothly, there could be a conflict of interest that's not necessarily financial in nature, isn't that right?
