If, as is apparent, the stock scam probe committee is composed of honest and impartial men, then there is no excuse for not publishing their report in full. Less than a hundred scamsters are named with details of their manipulations. Sadly they belong to all (especially the two main) political parties, SEC and DSE big-wigs aptly described by Daily Star as “Protectors turned Predators” and elite businesspeople. Publishing the report in full and then taking appropriate action against those named, is the least that the present government can do to convince the lacs of small investors who have lost their savings, that there is no cover-up, no collusion with the accused and that the ill-gotten gains will be recovered. The two DS public polls with 90%++ results is not only about the share market, but an indication of what can happen in the next election or even before that.
