While I don't doubt there is some manipulation from the higher ups concerning him, I think it is more taking advantage of what is already there -- his altruistic nature. Akira mentions that he volunteered/agreed to the arrangement, because he wanted to be helpful to people. The child Kaneki in his dream sequence mentioned wanting to grow up to be someone that helped people.

I think CCG is a mixed-bag for Sasaki. There is much that bothers him, in terms of how the organization is run and his missing memories. But he also has people he cares about, and I think he does value his work as it relates to protecting the public.

If I had to make a prediction for the series end game, I think we will see some strong division among the ranks of CCG. We already saw that Amon had been questioning things before the finale, and in the final chapter we see Koori Ui and Hirako discuss their misgivings concerning the Anteiku operation. Now we have a new element, in Sasaki being someone they have all gotten to know as a comrade and friend plus the possibility of Amon returning as a half-Ghoul.
