Is Yatin Varma the Attorney General Insane ?

theundercoverdodo — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 09:04:22 +0000

Sunday Morning, coffee in one hand and a pile of newspapers on the other, my paper review was up for a grand start until I came across this ... Yatim Varma (Weekend Newspaper): "Let it be known, Mr Speaker, Sir, by one and all, that, just like Dr the Honourable Prime Minister, I am in favour of the reintroduction of capital punishment in cases of most heinous crimes, and I am also against remission for serious crimes like sexual offences, drug dealing and murder." Next, my freshly brewed Venezuelan coffee was tossed off. Why does the Attorney General thinks a killing spree will bring crimes down in our society? The strong death penalty supporter U.S Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackburn said "I feel morally and intellectually obligated simply to concede that the death penalty experiment has failed...I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death". It is a quote after 20 years of being a strong believer of capital punishment.

Should the Mauritian State fund religious organisations?

Bruno — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:01:39 +0000

Rs 73.6 millions of public money has been given away to religions during the last financial year. The Catholic Church is the main beneficiary with Rs 23.7 millions, followed by the Somduth Dulthummun's Mauritius Sanatan Dharma Temples Federation, Rs 17.8 millions. Ten other institutions received Rs 32.1 millions altogether. This amount of public money is not astronomical compared with the figures involved in the wastage of public funds, as quoted by the latest Audit Report.
