What are the immediate consequences of the SNP government's decision to hire its own investigators to look into misconduct allegations against its ministers?

The Scottish National Party (SNP) government is hiring five new investigators to probe ministerial conduct, following several recent scandals involving taxpayer misuse and potential breaches of the ministerial code. This follows the end of contracts for a previous group of investigators. The new hires will be responsible for conducting impartial investigations into complaints against current and former ministers.
