They fear to do the right thing for fear of the might of political power

The track records of at least four Blue members of the group that crossed the floor of the Diyawanna House in a move towards forming a national government had set a poser to the government top brass.

The complaints lodged with the bribery and corruption authorities against the ones who were earlier in charge of foreign employment, Samurdhi, wildlife and telecommunications are far too serious for the authorities in the saddle to turn a blind eye, they say. Meanwhile, both anti-corruption and Police sleuths have begun wondering whether they should risk their necks by going ahead with the investigations into the allegations against these former bigwigs who are now restored to political power and glory they had been used to under the previous regime.

However, the anti-corruption authorities have now received orders from the top to make a public announcement assuring that the investigations into allegations against all political heavyweights irrespective of their former or present status are proceeding smoothly.
