Mindless remarks of ministers
Last year the commerce minister said food prices would reduce if people ate less. The LGRD minister and Secy-Gen of the ruling party ignores the daily killings on our borders as “incidents” of no consequence. The communications minister thinks the more illiterate the bus/truck driver, the better; while another minister said that it was sufficient if they (the drivers) could identify a goat or a cow on the road. Today the shipping minister, also the transport big-wig, wants tolls and extortion to be legalised to stop rampant corruption in the transport sector. Half the prime minister's time is spent in warning various ministers, members of parliament, government officials and party men to behave, all to no avail. Will the home and population ministers, tomorrow, declare that Sagar and Runi actually volunteered to reduce our population? Are we supposed to listen in awe their “wise words”?
