The State spends billions of rupees,
most of which it borrows, to provide security for VIPs where there are probably
over 1,000 VIPs and hence there is a permanent carder of about 10,000 people
permanently providing protection. Then when you add the vehicles, food,
allowances, and training it all adds up to about the cost of a medium sized
hospital every year.
YES A MEDIUM SIZED HOSPITAL and there is
a scramble at the moment to provide a PET scanner for the Cancer Hospital in
Maharagama, and we the public are asked to contribute because you the state is
broke, and the Health Budget does not allow it. These Police, STF, and Three
Forces security MUST be drastically cut. If only you knew that the Army
Commander of Sri Lanka has a massive guard, where there are less people trying
to get him, than the beggar on the cross road! That is how funny this whole
charade is.
The link is a must read for intelligent
people to really understand how limited the mindset of the people who are being
provided security is. If they were truly intelligent they will refuse any
security, as I don’t believe there is anyone other than at most 10 people who
need some kind of security, in a Country, where the real security need is for
innocent people who are completely crushed under the campaign of intimidation
performed by the local mafias of each area.
I will elaborate on the real needs for
security from persecution in a later blog entry, as it is insidious and swept
under the carpet as many in high authority benefit from this lack of basic
rights that the majority of the Country suffer from.
To go back to the main gist of my
argument, we must seriously analyze the security risk, using modern security
threat analyses and use cheaper electronic means to provide real security which
these wannabe types use for show, displaying their inadequacies in the open, and
fooling many by an illusory level of importance provided by brain dead hunks who
only intimidate, and are given a status far beyond their worth.
As in all cases where change
is needed, we need leadership from the top to identify areas of corrective action,
and take the necessary steps to implement them. However our leaders do not have
the vision to understand these basic improvements as they are still numbed by the
belief that their worth is ONLY extended, and expanded by this show of power, that
has NO basis in fact.
