Unequal justice in society

A minister who has caused financial losses worth millions of dollars to the state has been summoned to appear before a parliamentary committee to explain his actions. Despite shedding a few insincere tears, he is granted forgiveness.

On the other hand, a destitute individual who steals a mobile phone to afford food is subjected to years of imprisonment for his crime.

Unfortunately, it is often the case that powerful individuals in society evade punishment for their transgressions. This appears to be the norm in our region.
