Arrogance of power creates a blinding fog of aristocratic privilege and cuts one's relationship with reality. When this happens to a detached and pampered ruling class, the welfare of the majority population is relegated to the gutters.

It is unbelievable that the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has once again connived with the Executive in a scheme to award astronomical increase in salaries for top public servants to cushion them against the tough economic times facing millions of citizens.
