Former Navy Commander Arrest

Former Navy Commander Admiral Wasantha Karannagoda was arrested by the Bribery Commission on corruption allegations. The arrest relates to recruitment decisions made in 2006 involving Yoshitha Rajapaksa.

So a former Navy Commander gets arrested over recruiting someone's nephew, and Twitter's acting like they just discovered nepotism—buddy, that's not corruption, that's just Sri Lankan job placement at its finest. The Bribery Commission really said "let's make an example" while the entire government's probably like "first time?"
