A 19-year-old boy was shot with pellet rounds. Was protecting one cabinet minister worth this?
If the minister had been dropped from the cabinet when the controversy first emerged, this protest may never have escalated into the level of outrage we are witnessing today among the youth.
Instead, your government chose to stand by him. That has created a widespread public perception that those in power are protecting one another rather than ensuring accountability.
In a democracy, every decision has consequences. Elections are never far away, whether in a few months or a few years. When the people cast their votes, the verdict will reveal who remains in public life and who disappears from the political landscape.
