How many committees the government have appointed so far? It seems the only intention of the government by appointing these committees is to protect it’s own and friends interests. The members of this government made a big fuss about the BOND scam and Easter Sunday massacre when they were in the opposition. Nearly two years in his term, the president has not delivered.
