Harakiri

[Q3210]

Tropicanna in her Non-Jamaica Trip Report thread:<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> </div></div>We had a couple of tragedies the last few days. The minister of Agriculture committed harakiri. There was talk of scandal in giving contracts. The president of one of the companies involved in the rumours committed harakiri a day later. There is still a culture of avoiding disgrace. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> </div></div>

Our present govt. have been involved in many many questionable circumstances involving giving of contracts.
If Jamaican Govt. members had any sense of shame or disgrace, one of our Ministers of Govt. reputable for the circumstances would have committed harakiri 50x50 times. His cohorts would also have committed harakiri just by the mere fact of association.

Re: Harakiri


I think it is more proper to say:

Seppuku

[Q3210]

Re: Harakiri

Both one and the same. Disembowelment I guess is more precise a description, your mentioning Seppuku.

We need a dose of Seppuku in our culture that may help the thinking of people elected by a nation to represent them not to take them down with dishonesty and ultra-corruption as is apparent by too many of some of our elected leaders.
