High class brothels are found in most countries. It is the world’s oldest trade. The ‘Madams’ roll in wealth. With their trade and wealth they also buy influence in high places, and are able to get away lightly. Would MR government be different by cracking down hard on these ‘madams’, or would she be able to get away by threats of blackmail of politicians?
Danuna T escaped SL and justice and is in hiding, perhaps in USA itself, through SF influence and right connections. He is a key witness and accused in the case against SF. CID itself was corrupt and bought by SF not to arrest DT. Hence crimes go unpunished. It is only the small fry that is caught and punished. The big ones escape to have a whale of a time. Would MR clean-up SL of corruption this year?
I Don’t think he will do that if he going to do that he need to put his brothers first in the jail to stop the corruption in the country then all the MP no one to say clean they are enjoying our money all his part members are corrupt when the come to the parliament
What they had and now what they have
Cleaning out corruption and vice has to start with the top. When the leadership of this country is clean then the country is also clean. Why start casionos in the country? Doesn’t it invite vice????
