Editor,
The spate of irregularities and scams being dug out every now and then under the current dispensation of the NPP led-government that includes the regional parties as well marks a new low in the history of scams in the State.
What is ironic is the stubborn attitude of some MLAs in the ruling government irrespective of their party banners to have accepted that corruption is their moral right to extract every pound available and the very same ones will lambast the coalition they’re in together.
From the collapse of the newly built state legislative assembly dome to cracked bridges, potholed road to an unfinished model institution in Ri-Bhoi funded by the Central government, leaking ISBT, haphazard construction of centrally funded institutions and assets, all of these call for a CBI enquiry and all those found guilty should be put in jail and their assets sold off to repay what has been spent.
We don’t really see the kind of quality governance like what we see in other states which is why the MDA government has lost credibility in the eyes of the Union government and most importantly in the eyes of the public. Perhaps it’s an opportunity to boot out the MDA in 2023.
