Let’s defeat pathological racism

Don’t funk MR and accommodate peddlers and crooks

Not enough seminal stuff to call MR’s bluff!

by Kumar David- 

A deputy minister appointed on 9 September is widely believed to be connected to the heroin trade. He has not been convicted in a court, hence entitled to his rights, but what government disinclined to suicide appoints such people to ministerial positions? Another is said to have imported ethanol for moonshine; thugs and crooks are alleged to be dime a dozen. Ali Baba was not the only one with forty associates of disreputable genre! What will be the state of mind of the police, law and order personnel, and the courts, faced with this surrender by president, prime minister and their confidants (CBK, UNP bigwigs, SLFP flotsam)? There were bad eggs the previous week as well; the foul-mouthed thug who ruined higher education is now "empowering" something or the other, there is a bookie in the House and someone made billions from petroleum. Are slots reserved for deadly-Dougie and debauched-Thonda?
