I see a list of cases where we need some sort of third-party kashrus supervision, when decision makers are nogeah b’davar:
– Jews in EY estimating that they can take more from the government because of their contribution
– Jews in US taking welfare funds, justifying that they are using them for good reasons, quoting from CR – welfare worker said that they like how we spend welfare money on doing good things
– Jewish organizations saying that it is OK to attend shuls/schools (that they run) despite government decrees, or getting close to the line
This does not look different from a butcher certifying his own meat… Even if you do not cheat directly, you are bound to be biased.
