Vaccination a la Sri Lanka

I am an elderly person, well over 60 years of age, still not even able to find out where to go for my Covid vaccination, let alone get it! Let me compare Sri Lanka’s Colombo mob, to their counterparts elsewhere on the planet. Let me also ask the authorities concerned who was responsible for the shambolic, disorganized, corrupt distribution of the vaccine in Colombo. We will never know. Nor will we know why, unlike ALL other countries in the World, persons over 60 were refused priority, countermanding the original decision of the Health Ministry. It’s rumoured that the Health Authorities were “overruled” from the top”. Again, a la Sri Lanka.

Bitter sugar

Tuesday 16th March, 2021 The government is in the same predicament as an ant struggling to stay afloat in a jar of sugar syrup. The Opposition is in overdrive, inveighing against the SLPP for a sugar import racket, which has come to be dubbed the sugar scam. A controversial government decision to reduce import duty on sugar for the benefit of one of its cronies is believed to have caused a loss of about Rs. 15 billion to the state coffers. Ruling party politicians and some public officials loyal to them have denied any wrongdoing, but the public does not believe anything until it is officially denied.
