In what way are experts made to be silent on any practical matter?

Experts are allowed to silently fix mistakes of the politicians. They are not allowed to criticize them for bad practices, even in the case of major mistakes.

The coercive measures are vicious verbal backlash from the politicians, expulsion from a project, not being promoted or being fired as a "problematic" person.

What are some specific examples? I see experts criticize politicians all the time.
