I have been following the interviews of our MP contestants. Do the interviews reflect their capability and sensibility?
On a higher note, I have began to develop some kind of hatred towards some of the candidates, all through their interviews.
One such candidate is Mr. Sonam Tobgay of People's Democratic Party. When asked about his favorite proverb, he says, None - I don't rely on proverbs to get my point across. My first thought was, does he read? That's understandable though.
And when asked, Which ministry would you like to head given a chance?, he answers out of nowhere, Nothing should be left to chance - especially the selection of our ministers. A minister cannot be bureaucratic, a technocrat, or an autocrat - but someone who can inspire and motivate the bureaucracy to think innovatively and provide prompt and efficient services. Now, is this an answer to the question? You tell me...
And another candidate that puts me off at the first answer is PDP's Namgay Om. When asked about her lo (lunar year of birth), she remarks, Never ask a lady her age, and a gentleman his salary. Which century are you living in, madam? I mean, no one was asking her how old she was. That was a generalised question. Then her opponent is her shadow!
Now, Ugyen Dorji of DPT. His answers prove he is worth something. Just follow his answer at his page at Kuenselonline. Compare his answers with his opponent.
You can catch their interviews (updated regularly) at Know your candidates.
