Low, Dishonest Governance
| by Tisaranee Gunasekara
“….a culture in which orders from above, even if evil, are followed, because they are confused with the law itself.”

( May 1, 2014, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) This week, two trains collided in Sri Lanka.
It was an accident waiting to happen, caused by a technical failure left unattended for too long, despite many complaints: “The points of the railway track of the Pothuhera Railway Station were faulty for several years but repeated requests to higher-ups to rectify the problems fell on deaf ears. We were expecting a railway disaster at any moment.”
