This refers to your editorial “Loyalty above duty” (October 11). Having
allowed and tolerated all sorts of scams and corruption all these years, it
would have been better if the prime minister had maintained his characteristic
silence rather than talk about measures to prevent corruption. Considering his
government has lost credibility, particularly in curbing corruption, his
latest statement that the Prevention of Corruption Act would be amended will do
little to convince people.
Besides, the masses have suffered at the hands of high inflation, poor GDP growth, unemployment, high fiscal and current account deficits and so on. The government’s insensitivity to people’s problems has affected their morale. So, the high hopes riding on the prime minister when he took over in 2004 seem to have faded and cannot be easily revived.
