Messy landscape
What is wrong with our party politicians in
Kathmandu ? I cannot believe that they are still criticising the King for taking steps to
prevent them from pillaging the kingdom. Don’t they have any conscience? The past
decade of so-called multi-party democracy has produced nothing but rampant corruption,
lies and deceit. How can they claim to represent the will of the people? If they had
listened to the people, we would never have found ourselves in such a situation, where
military action is needed to bring about political stability.
I am greatly encouraged by the actions of the
Commission for the Iinvestigation of Abuse of Authority, but wonder how long it will take
before the so-called ‘leaders’ are held accountable for their mis-management and
misdemeanour? Such action will be seen as fulfilling the demand of the people. At the same
time, it is essential that all citizens support the King and his appointed representatives
in holding dialogue with the Maoist insurgents in order to end the current crisis.
