Passing the buck. This is amusing. It is more like a game of rugby. Finally a dummy and the matter closed. Arrest the minister and not pawns.

This is the very last loop in the long chain and the big fish are happy to sacrifice these "battas". Arrest the leaders and put them behind bars - not just arresting them. We need to rid of these pests feeding on peoples lives.

Next time, wait to hear that it is this man's baby son that was doodling with the contract document and altered the contract terms unknowingly. Crooks! Decendants of the man that climbed the "kitul tree"!

So many people were arrested, but the garlic is not yet arrested. Garlic and money is already in their bank accounts.
