Here is my proposal to the budget
Reduce all staff in government department by 95%. Pay a little bit more than what they get now and asked them to stay at home. See how much you save on fuel carrying these bus loads of baboons in the morning and evening.
Excellent proposal Ranjith, brilliant.
Even the Ministry Secretary’s are glorified peons carrying files to the Minister while the official cars are takng kids to school and wives to shopping in fashionable malls.
These ‘baboons’ as you call them are bloodsuckers of the economy.
They do nothing for the wages paid; they think GOSL and the taxpayer owe them a living.
Even the thousands of unemployed graduates (who have free public showers in Police Water cannons) think the Govt should give them a job (to do nothing) because they have got a piece of paper from a University.
