Penjor Wangdi, don’t forget to mention education city fiasco where PM is giving favourable government interventions and his son and nephew is involved. In any other country, such a fiasco would call for the immediate regination of the seating PM. OL, make some noise on that..

forget about who deserves what and when. Pem Pem thinks OL is picking at everything that PM does. Wrong, he is not doing enough, and not making enough noise.

>> Mckinsey at USD9.2 millions excluding out-of-pocket expenses without any international bidding or standard procurement norms. Smells of kick back, OL should make noise, why is he not?

>> An IT-project at Nu. 2.05 billion being implemented in great opacity, why is OL not making any noise? Voters need answers, transparency?

>> PM’s wife and some of the wives of DPT MPs were going from village to village with ostensible reason to thank women of Bhutan for voting DPT into power. A government pilot was being deployed, why is OL not making noise?

>>and several others that deserve sensitization and national attention….
Hon’ble, let your voices be heard above all those DPT din.

pem pem,
what a sarcastic person you are. you started addressing him with ho’ble and you end up accusing him of being a dishonourable man.In your last line you say nothing personal,and there again i see hypocrisy and sarcasm because if it’s nothing personal like you said,then how could you comment with so much undertone of hatred and jealousy.
I don’t agree when you say people are laughing at his blog..I’m certainly not laughing neither are those people, who I know,who appriciate and admire OL for daring to come out with this blog and put up with lots of senseless and negative comments from so many people. Name one DPT MP or cabinet minister who has the guts to come out with such blog.None. Well,there is nothing they can do,most of them are half educated like me. Im sure if they happen to come out with such blog,they will be easily overwhelmed and either end up resigning or commit sucide.LOL
I also don’t agree with you when you say that OL dosn’t deserve orange scarf-I think there is no one who is better deserved than OL. He has a Masters from Harverd,and had already served in several important positions in the govt. before he became OL.

Mark my word from this half educated man. This OL that you so despise of will one day become our PM. There are thousands of people like me who admire him and consider him a role model.

Ho’ble Opposition Leader,

With all due respect, I am beginning to pity you more. Do you have to pick on everyone and everything just to make your point being the Opposition Leader?

Remember, you pointing your “already dirty” finger at someone actually questions your own integrity.

You yourself arent someone with a good reputation. Your whole life is questionable, if at all I have to get personal.

But I dont want to be petty like you. I recommend you to use this blog to bring to live your already dying party.

I know, a person like you wont even be bothered as you have lost all the little respect you had from people, but people are actually laughing at you and your blog.

The people who support you too, here and in real life have a motive. Their motives are how they can use that orange scarf you carry on your shoulder. Which I strongly feel you dont deserve at all.

Nothing personal, I guess you always get back what you give. I am just being fair.

I am saddened that this blog TOO is now showing some similar disease like other sites such as bhutantimes.com Only time will tell how long people will read these stuffs. Assuming that most of the writers are civil servants, it will be huge number of hours lost for personal matters…Thanks thadamtse… I can now breathe some air. Agree to most of your words.

>>Bailing out from the losses incurred by tenzin Riden to the tune of 8 millions

>> Buying out Tenzin Rigden when his thoughts differed as he was one of the main organisers of the solidariy walk against the DPT government’s handling of deaths of 7 boys in Chhukha

>> Making Tenzin Rigden DPT government’s media relations officer since he has media controls and influence through ownership and relationship

There is something wrong there. In any other democratic country where I live (US), this would be a big scandal calling for impeachment of the prime minister.

The main objective of the CICCC was not to celebrate the glory of the occasion, it was a business venture undertaken by TR, TG and DW. It was to make money. People should not be misled to think that CICCC was an initiative that was initiated with THADAMTSE & LEYJUMDREY.

And it is not the practice of the GOVT to bail out private business ventures, and rightfully, it should not be so. Otherwise there is no risk involved in starting a private business. When TG, TR and DW started the CICCC did they ever mention that the profit from the CICCC w’d be donated to renovate a Lhakhang, or be donated to a hospital? NEVER.

So bailing out the CICCC team is not the right decision. If you ask around, there may be other individuals and companies who have lost money. Will they be refunded too. I DO NOT THINK SO.

Tenzing Rigden, why don’t you come out and tell the world whether the DPT government bailed you guys out for the losses supposedly
incurred for organizing the coronation and centenary celebrations.

Tshering Jamyang, you see Tenzin Rigden’s appointment as a move from the PM to “buy off” the media but I see it in a positive light. I see it more as an initiative to “managing” the media better by appointing a capable person whose integrity is solid enough though some who do not know him well/personally may not agree.

As for the Opposition, he MAY deserve the salary he is getting( opinions may vary) but what I am trying to say is TR also deserves a “good” salary and speculation about it should not be biased.

And as for the CICCC, I agree that tax payers’ money should not have been used to pay off the losses. But when a noble plan failed and the government had to do something to salvage the situation, maybe some amount of understanding, compromise and sacrifice is needed. And anyway, such situations do not occur regularly. But of course, the tax payers’ views on this count. Some may be disgruntled and some not. We never know.
