Daylight Robbery by Senior State Officials! Contd. It just goes on and on!

I reported earlier (I believe it was my last Blog entry) about how ANY paddy land can be refilled for development at a price, thanks to collective connivance of State Officials without conscience. Just look at the houses these people live in the private cars they have, the overseas travel they engage in, and Countries they retire in with their loot, having educated their children first with some of the loot, and then set them up with the money transfers to buy house and home, all part of the package. Heard about Australia as a safe haven for the ill gotten gains. So much for preventing Boat People, while accepting daylight robbers with open arms as they have money! Its all part of the sordid way in which all the heritage and resources of Sri Lanka are spirited away, by our very own people. Before blaming the ills of the world on the USA look inwards to our so called Public Servants, (not all but some, and a few bad apples can still despoil a whole nation.)

Well here is another story and from this and many more to follow, you can see how Public Servants use their position to fleece the state and fill their own pockets, and nothing gets done about it, as NO ONE wishes to get entangled by disciplining and prosecuting state officials, as there is a honor among thieves to protect their own, in much the same way as the Police always protect their own, even when they know they have broken the law.

This leads to a state of endemic corruption, in which Sri Lanka is DEEPLY MIRED in and even a good and honest politician, even if there is EVEN one who is in this category, is prevented by this WALL OF SHAME from penetrating this bastion of STATE CORRUPTION to get at the nub of the problem that ails us, so it can be PUBLICIZED and urgent action taken to correct ABUSE.

The supposed collective conscience of the nation, the MEDIA is sadly COMPLICIT in this CRIME, and do not report it as they are paid in ARRACK not to disclose what is staring them in the face, and to that extent, our FOURTH ESTATE IS A SHAMELESS PARTICIPANT IN THIS ORGANIZED CRIME.

That is why we have to turn to Social Media, with Fake News that has always been around in the mainstream media, due to its acceptance as authentic, has resulted in the  public being completely hoodwinked. The beauty of Social Media such as this Blog is that we are aware of the Fake News being an issue and so there is MORE thought going into the readership of Social Media, who analyze what they read, even here in my blog, and by weighing he pros and cons will determine whether it is more likely to be truth or not.

I have devoted this Blog primarily to bring to my reader, information that they will NOT be privy to elsewhere, anywhere for that matter, and certainly will not appear in any Newspaper or TV show as they are meant to merely pursue the Owners’ Agenda and NOT produce factual analysis for the reader to evaluate. In fact as far as I know this is the ONLY Blog that primarily reports Sri Lankan situations, and conundrums and anti-PUBLIC actions, IN THE INTERESTS PURELY OF THE SRI LANKAN PEOPLE. It seeks NO fear or favor, and asks for nothing, just to think about the probable likelihood of what is written here.

THOSE ENTRUSTED TO PROTECT THE WILD PROTECT THEMSELVES INSTEAD

Prince Edward Windsor, the youngest son of the Queen of England is here in Sri Lanka to represent the Queen in the 70^th Anniversary Celebrations of the Independence from Great Britain on 4^th February 1948. He is expected to be a visitor at the Minneriya National Park on Monday, 5^th of February 2018.

The Park has been awarded a contract of Rs5M to resurface the roads within the park to fill all the holes and make the drive around the park a pleasant one for visitors in their Jeeps. I don’t know how the Prince is going to travel, be it in a Land Rover Discovery or a Range Rover, the preferred mode of travel of British Royalty.

Instead of awarding this complete contract to a company with strict conditions on what needs to be done, the Head, has taken upon it himself to get the Jeep Owners Association to provide two Tractor Trailers Free, for  his use to help in resurfacing the road. He then uses the employees of the National Park, on their normal duty time, and without a break, say about 20 staff, or as much as he can get, to collect the earth and then spread it all around the needed areas, and then report that the job has been completed, and will request that the amount passed be given to him in cash to pay for the work.

Of course in his log he will say how many loads of earth had been transferred, how many man hours were used, how many vehicles were hired for how many days in making his claim for Rs4M, to show he was able to finish the job under budget and thereby saving the state Rs1M and get brownie points as a wonder boy who should be promoted to even higher levels in his Career.

Of course the Jeep Owners Association don’t know of this scam, that he is actually being paid full rates for the use of their tractor trailers, and neither do the unsuspecting staff, who HAVE TO follow orders and do as they are told, no questions asked.

This is another example of how the State is scammed, in this case for Rs4M and the public pay for it! Worse, it ends with a shoddy job, half done, which will only last till the next torrential rains. Knowing the park, and knowing the desperate need for a small permanent bridge in a place that can prevent so much road erosion, that Rs4M would be far better spent, but the Minister has not put that need on the front burner, just a boru show pot hole fill up only!!
