Almost 60 fishermen died at sea, because the authorities failed to warn about an impending storm.

No one accepted responsibility, no one apologised and no one resigned.

A Deputy Inspector General of Police was arrested for abducting and murdering a businessman. Subsequently the police announced that DIG Vaas Gunawardene has been heading a murder-cum-extortion racket for years.

No one accepted responsibility, no one apologised and no one resigned.

The Defence Ministry runs the police. The Ministry’s über-powerful Secretary loves to hold forth about everybody’s business. But the increasingly loquaciousGotabhaya Rajapaksa is doing a Thompson and Thomson[i] on the Vaas Gunawardene issue; ‘mum’s the word’ is his response to the execrable deeds of his former underling.
