Only congratulating the new Pope is not enough. Being the Executive President, still the Easter attacks perpetrators could not be found and justice delivered. Empty show offs will not do anything good for you. Remember, people are not behind the time.

More relevant would be to say something about the Kotahena school girl's case that's the elephant in the room.
