Sharp Quotes from the Clergy

It seems that yesterday, there was a huge reshuffle in the government officials ranks. As usual, these reshuffle seems of cronyism and corruption, but in today's post,I wanted to mention a few things that I've heard on the radio regarding comments on one of the reshuffle.

In one of the departments that deal with clerical duties of the Buddhist movement, a doctor - who happened to be the son of a very influential person has taken over the head of the department. That specific candidate pipped one of the favorite candidates - a police general, who had been earlier campaigning to win over the trust of the skeptical clergy.

A reporter asked one of the spokesperson of the clergic movement about how do they feel about these political maneouvering and why did the favorite did not get the position, he quoted the following:

It seems that the "Police General" was spending too much time garnering support from the monks, that he forgot to garner support from the PM where it mattered.

The department heads seems to be the son of an influential person, very young and a doctor, but it doesn't mean that we won't support him. In fact we will. Its just that if he doesn't do his job in the way he should in a few months, we'll just have to ask him out to get in a more capable person.

Just the right degree of skepticism that I like ;)
