Fazeer Mohammed gone- Who next? My column- Nov 2010

Expect large shipments of "Play Doh", the Government's choice of material, for making State sector bosses and employees like Ken Ali, a man once jailed for defying a court-ordered ban on reporting a news story. Some existing State employees will not survive the barest scans in the rumour mill. For sure, the PNM bar code will be picked up, but other things will make some persons wholly unsuitable for a senior, or any, State job. The obvious defect is their spine, especially one which encases a working spinal cord. In this Politics 2010 version, one must not expect to be able to think independently of the central system, and stand up on your own at the same time. And this is not new, just the updated versions of the politics built for us since 1956. Fazeer gone, who next?
