Heightened Execution of Responsiblities

Many problems in the third world countries are associated with flawed or delayed fixation of responsibilities; the culprit either escape owning the unlawful activity or keep on shifting the responsibilities from one to another stakeholder. Finally, no one is brought to book and hence justice delayed is justice denied. Particularly, when justice is to be exercised against a high profile person, then the anticipation of recovery and evenhandedness die its natural death.

The genuine culprits of multi-million dollar Kabul bank scandal, till date evade apprehension and prosecution. This is awesome to learn that two former chiefs of Afghanistan's Kabul Bank, Sherkhan Farnood and ex-CEO Khalilullah Ferozi have been sentenced to five years in jail for the multi-million dollar fraud that almost led to its collapse in 2010. This is a blatant joke with the judicial system of Afghanistan, indicative of the highest degree of manipulation. This depicts culprits enjoying strong political support couldn’t be formally pursued. A flimsy dented prosecution might be deemed as nothing more than a face saving act.

Undoubtedly, it was a $900m bank scandal, multiplying the concerns of international donors whilst risking the collapse of Afghanistan's fragile economy. The relatively light sentence extended to the two key players in the  Kabul Bank scandal fueled concerns about government indifference to rampant corruption in the country.

Identically, General Motors Company, commonly known as GM, is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Detroit, Michigan that designs, manufactures, markets and distributes vehicles and vehicle parts and sells financial services. General Motors produces vehicles in 37 countries. General Motors led global vehicle sales for 77 consecutive years from 1931 through 2007, longer than any other automaker, and is currently among the world's largest automakers by vehicle unit sales.

Previoulsy, the comapany recalled over 2.42 million vehicles that cost $600 million due to a slight  untraced manufacturing defect. The vehicles’ front safety lap belt cables “can fatigue and separate over time,” according to a GM statement. A separated cable can increase injury risk to front-seat passengers. The company said it has instructed dealers not to sell new or used crossovers until repairs are conducted. This is the height of extension of responsibilities and owning the an unintentional misdeed.

This intimate an extreme demonstration of sanity, dutifulness and owning of responsibilities for an inappropriate unintentional deed. It is a moral transferring act that may aspire our leaders! It is high time, the public office bearing individuals in this piece land learn the height of the impartial and rational extension of responsibilities.
