"He had no business tampering with social services."
Again, I have trouble understanding this sentence.
Does it mean "He had no right to oppose social services"?
Thank you.

No, it doesn’t mean "He had no right to oppose social services."
‘Tampering’ means interfering with or changing in a way so as to weaken or to damage; busying oneself with other people’s things or affairs without being asked or needed; meddling in & etc.
Therefore "He had no business tampering with social services." means “ "He had no right or business busying himself or interfering with or meddling in ‘social services’."
