When the politicians are themselves are so corrupthow can the country progress? Both parties have miserably failed toeliminate this over many decades. Sri Lankans know that most politicians arecorrupt but probably not a single politician has been found guilty over thelast 50 yrs!No doubt the 30 yr curse of the LTTE has now gone thanks to the politicalleadership given by the govt. as well as the courage of the forces. Theyworked hand in glove and no doubt we have now eliminated the curse. GenFonseka had said that one of the reasons for the victory was that heeliminated the corruption in the forces.Look at the following list of performance of the current politicians, whichis just the tip of the iceberg     -          COPE report Rs 33,000 million fraud  but no culprits (because all politicians and henchman are the guilty ones!)-          Mihin air .... lost 6 billion and then given another 3 billion.When the world economy was suffering  and the established airlines werecollapsing the 'brilliant' SL politicians ego is what matters! ( whole ofheath sector for 20 million Sri Lankans  received only Rs 5 billion and nowonder we hear stories such as  'no surgery at national hospital due toshortage of medicine and equipment !!!!)-          Losses identified Air Lanka 9.98 billion, Electricity board 39billion, Ports Authority 3.5 billion, Petroleum Coop- 7.1 billion, SLTB 4.5billion, Road development authority 9.9 billion-          Rs 100 million lost to the SLTB for using busses in the one ofthe election campaigns.-          40 ministers with Colombo residencies claim Rs 100, 000 housingallowance and Rs 35,000 electricity/ water allowance-          Foreign minister spends Rs 100 million on foreign trips-          Rs 90 million paid to Mr Thondaman to move to premises belongingto workers congress-          Rs 100 million lost due to fraud at foreign employment ministry-          Rs 150 million spent on 22 presidential advisors-          20 ministers having overspent asks for Rs 2.52 billion ( part ofover spent is to buy luxury vehicles)-          Govt. unable to account for Rs 1000 million from Maga-negumaproject       -       Colossal fraud at Ceylon Petroleum Coop. of Rs 3390 million       -        SLT telecom loses Rs 324 million in a tender racket -          Airlanka catering loses Rs 9000 million last yr from a profit ofRs 4000 million the previous year-          More than 100 ministers ( India with 1 billion has only 22 ) andadd the cost of many vehicles, offices, houses, security, assistants (family members) wasting billions-          Palaces for presidents family. Who cares for the 20 millioncitizens?-          Despite killing of 14 journalists, many assaults on media, otherlawless activities known to all Sri Lankans, no one has been arrested. ( buthow can they when the god father of underworld criminals is a minister) Howlow can a govt. stoop down? What is the point of a leader who can notidentify a rabid dog?Just imagine how prosperous the country could have been if not for thepoliticians who plunder the wealth of all Sri Lankans.The country needs  a new face who has not been part and parcel of decades ofsuch destruction  and a person who could put this right by some order andresponsibility to the political system. The country needs independentcommissions for police, elections  etc  so that there will not be politicalinterference at all levels. The country needs some one who will not bow downto political mafia.Despite the political leadership Mr Rajapaksa has given  during the war, ifsuch leaders continue the plundering of nations wealth and lawlessness willcontinue. Gen. Fonseka has a credible record, not tarnished by decades ofpolitical corruption, squandering public wealth  and hence can  clean thisminefield. It's a gamble but a gamble worth taking.A personal opinionbyD. Joseph</blockquote>
