The State Minister, Range Snr, must resign for having allowed government property to be misused by his family. Both the father and son should be prosecuted for these offenses.

Drinking while intoxicated is a serious matter,but sons driving fathers official vehicles happens almost in every upper middle class family.We should not take them very seriously. Please don’t have any class envy.
