Roshi Bhadain leaving his ex-office at the ministry of Good Governance on Tuesday 24th January, where he was allowed to take only a mug with him.

Madonna must be rolling in her sleep, having a terrible nightmare! We have a new Virgin in town! Our own self-proclaimed Virgin: Roshi, the Virgin.

You see, up until now, before he became a Virgin, he had been this jack-of-alltrade KGB minister in what he now describes as a Mafia government. So, just like that, he has suddenly discovered that the government which he was part of, until last Monday, is run by a Mafia. One wonders whether we should be laughing or crying at this amazing discovery. Should we be thanking him or spitting on him?

And to prove his newfound virginity, he tells us he has nothing to do with the dismantling of the BAI group of companies! Again, just like that! And the arrogance with which he spat out this falsehood is an insult to our collective intelligence. If he had nothing to do with it, then why did he choose to withdraw his money from Bramer Bank before it was shut down?

You can fool some people some of the time but you cannot fool all the people all of the time!

Was he not also the one who was omnipresent on our shameful national television days in days out, using giant flat screens to project his over-sized ego, informing us how BAI was a Ponzi scheme? So please, stop insulting our intelligence. You can fool some people some of the time but you cannot fool all the people all of the time! The Pepsi logo – “A generation ahead” – is a clear indication of that…

A trip down memory lane will show us, indeed, that Roshi Bhadain is anything but a Virgin. His close connection to a notorious bookmaker should have rung alarm bells in the minds of right-thinking people. Some say that both have been blamed in a report of the Commission of enquiry on horseracing. A report that is nowhere to be seen.

One cannot also forget how a former Judge had been commissioned with the delicate task of convincing the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to resign in the wake of the Sun Tan saga. You may not know this former Judge was the judge who gave Roshi Bhadain the win in his case against the Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC). No wonder why he loves that judge so much. Was it him who convinced the former Prime Minister to appoint same ex-Judge along with his own Permanent Secretary Phokeer?

Three shocking appointments will also show that our Virgin is no angel. The guy clearly knows what he is doing.

First, our Virgin appoints his agent-turned-senior advisor at the Financial Service Commission (FSC). This is not an innocent move. The FSC is the Regulator of the financial sector. It ought to be completely independent and free from political interference. Its decisions ought to be impartial and seen to be impartial. With a political crony in its midst how can it be impartial? How could it deal with the BAI saga fairly?

The second appointment is even worse. His close friend and neighbour in Albion is appointed as Director of the Financial Intelligence Unit. The only qualification of this otherwise sympathetic guy is his closeness with our Virgin. I do not know if people realise this, the FIU has tremendous powers of investigation and collection of information. It can look into your bank account without you even knowing about it.

Last but not least, the appointment of his cousin ‘‘laliann’’ as Acting Director General of ICAC. A body which has the word ‘‘independent’’ in its appellation. The body which started the investigation into the Sun Tan and the Euro Loan sagas. As we saw, both sagas had been marred by the involvement of our Virgin.

So can we now be surprised when he arrogantly tells us that he has compromising ‘‘dossiers’’, kept chilled in cyberspace, ready to be served at the appropriate time? Of course he will. All these three investigatory institutions were at his mercy. This was part and parcel of his KGB methods. Just like the middle of night sequestration of Dufry directors at the house of the Attorney General.

So please, for heaven’s sake, stop portraying yourself as a Virgin. Had you been appointed Minister of Finance, you would not have discovered the Mafia that you are now shamelessly denouncing. You would have continued with your KGB methods designed to collect dirt on people ready to be used as and when you deemed fit. And you dare call the DPP a Constitutional Monster? You are the Monster.
