In many countries, bribes are a standard part of doing business. If you want a permit to build, or a newspaper story published, the culture in many areas of the world is that you need a little "grease the skids" money. It's actually legal for US businesses to use bribes in limited circumstances (pretty complex to explain the rules to you), so if that's what is going on here, then there may be no other alternative.
