Summing up the crisis that’s swelling within this “Cuckoo land” under common labels, could be easier done than quoting news headlines.
Salaries, percentage allocations for education and University Don’s strike; the Z-score scramble, students, parents and university admissions; Ministers, Deputy Ministers, PC and PS Members in assaults, extortions, abductions, sexual abuses, rapes, murders and crimes; tender violations by Ministers; diesel and petrol hedging deals by politicians and henchmen; politically backed “push and dump” looting in the Colombo stock market; plunder with EPF investments under CB Monetary Board; data tinkering, fraud and mismanagement charges on CB Governor; accusations about a CEB mafia, undeclared and declared power cuts; heavy prime land grabbing by powerful politicians; these are not all, but were common issues sifted from recent media reports.
