The rising rate of rage and hatred spread in the community through media has coaxed some senior civil servants who have retired from their positions, to write an open letter to the corporate sector and business houses. The letter urges them to stop advertising on media channels that ferment hatred and disharmony. They have written this letter not only because it is the right thing to do but also because fear and unrest are bad for business.
The retired bureaucrats wrote under the banner of Constitutional Conduct stating that companies, business houses, and corporate groups – responsible for wealth creation – have not been doing their bit in upholding the rights and freedom spelt out in the Constitution.
