Are these "By-Laws" an impediment upon clinicians to become whistleblowers?

Under the VA's new By-Laws Code of Conduct, Acceptable Behaviors, sentence 5, it seems to me and some clinicians I have spoken with that VA is trying to back handedly block whistle blowers from coming forward. What are your thoughts? (By the way, I have the complete By-Laws document if anyone would like to see what is expected of the doctors)

Acceptable Behavior: The VA expects that members of the medical staff will serve diligently, loyally, and cooperatively. They must avoid misconduct and other activities that conflict with their duties; exercise courtesy and dignity; and otherwise conduct themselves, both on and off duty, in a manner that reflects positively upon themselves and VA. Acceptable behavior includes the following (1) being on duty as scheduled. (2) being impartial in carrying out official duties and avoiding any action that might result in, or look as though, a medical staff member is giving preferential treatment to any person, group or organization, (3) not discriminating on the basis of race, age, color, sex, religion, national origin, politics, marital status, or disability in any employment matter or in providing benefits under any law administered by VA, (4) not making a governmental decision outside of official channels, (5) not taking any action that impedes government efficiency and economy, affects one’s impartiality, or otherwise lowers public confidence in the Federal Government, and (6) with certain exceptions in accordance with 5 C.F.R. 2635, not asking for or accepting any gift, tip, entertainment, loan, or favor, or anything of monetary value for oneself or any member of one’s family from any person or organization that is seeking or has a business or financial relationship with the VA to avoid the appearance that one’s official actions might be influenced by such gifts.
