Tigers and gonibillas,oh my!
No one in good ol' paradise isle would argue that next to the threat of Colombo blowing up in our faces a la the LTTE, and the Ibola virus, politicians in this country are the scariest thing around. With their scant regard for the law of the land, their complete lack of morals and links with underworld criminals, there isn't a ghost or phantom around more scary than those that sit in the house of representatives. President Chandrika Kumaratunga, it appears, concurs with most of us commoners on this one issue at least. Addressing a gathering of school kids last week, the President acknowledged that many of her kind (ie: politicians) were gonibillas. She referred to the sins of politicians past, how they went on killing sprees and generally behaved like demonic forces had taken them over. It has slipped Kumaratunga's mind, no doubt, like many things are apt to do, about some of the antics her own little brood have been upto - attacks on nightclubs and inciting communal violence in the east, etc.
"There was a time in our country when certain demons in the guise of humans came into being, killing each other and claiming their fight was for a cause. I can name four or five such leaders, but I don't want to name them here. Our politicians are also like Adolf Hitler, some of them are dead of course but others are still alive."
- President Kumaratunga speaking at a ceremony to hand out uniform material and text books to students from all educational zones at President's House last Monday (November 29).
Having been in office for 10 long years now, one would at least have expected the President to have made some progress toward reining in the gonibillas running amok. Who's the biggest gonibilla of them all then, eh?
