Send the owner to life imprisonment. These are the lowest of the low in our country.

Before jumping up and down check whether he is an importer distributor or a wholesaler. In anyone of those events guy has to maintain a stock. So what is there to make a big fuss. We are really becoming petty minded idiots.

What political connections does the mafia or business man have Friday, 31 January 2025 07:50 PM

What kind of rice is this? Is it more white rice, or red rice everyone is seeking? Anyhow, rice mafia used to better keep power by lavishly bribing politicians, and uncovering these connections of who is SLPP assisted for this crime is a must.

There is no crime here as there are hundreds of such storages in the country. You can't file case against the owner just because he stored rice and floor. Logically these goods need to be stored somewhere. These CAA guys mostly from NPP are just doing a media show to fool people.

IF ILLEGAL STORAGE, DISTRIBUTE IT ALL TO THE POOR Saturday, 01 February 2025 03:48 PM

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF STORING/STORAGE IF THERE IS NO RICE TO BUY!!. STORAGE FOR THE WEALTHY!!. STOCK STORED IS TO BE USED WHEN STOCKS RUN OUT AND PEOPLE CANNOT PURCHASE THE PRODUCT. HOPE THE GOVT LOOKS INTO THIS AND IF THIS IS A ILLEGAL STORAGE, IT SHOULD BE ALL DISTRIBUTED TO THE POOR FREE.

The motive of business is to maximize profit within the confines of the law. If you are doing something unethical or immoral but within the law its still legal. All business is based on human greed (Thanhawa) . Infact all commercial activity is based on human greed ( in management jargon you call it demand) . Profitting is the goal. Just understanding it is important before we pass moral judgement. As long as there is demand ( thanhawa) and supply ( activity that helps fulfill tahhawa) the world goes on..
