New Ministry of ‘Law and Order’ Reminds Apartheid South Africa
by Laksiri Fernando-Sunday, August 25, 2013
( August 25, 2013, Sydney, Sri Lanka Guardian) It is undoubtedly an odd name. Probably the brother himself must have given the ‘dead rope’ to the President who is obsessed with not so much of law but ‘order.’ There was only one country with a ‘Ministry of Law and Order’ to my knowledge in the world and that was Apartheid South Africa before 1994. After the demolition of that brutish regime, a new ministry was created called the Ministry of Safety and Security to take charge of the police (SAPS). Still South Africa is beset with issues of crime and safety as a legacy of the past.
