Rather than ask questions they should halt the practice and if his job performace is failing why did he get a bonus to begin with. In my opinion NO ONE in a goverment job should receive any bonus, if they want bonuses go to work in the private sector, there is no oversight on these pay outs to govt employees, they get it just because they are there!
