People behind rice scheme are the ones who should to pay its debt

Ref: "Bonds to be issued to pay off rice losses", News, Saturday.
The only bonds that should be necessary should be those that bind the wrists of the criminals that brought about the debt. Instead there is another opportunity to be reconciled – perpetrators, who are well heeled enough to take advantage of the bonds, to squeeze more out of the exchequer to increase the debt. Everyone else can reconcile themselves to the fact that nothing is going to change.
“Polluter Pays”-style rules should apply and the funds should be paid back by the authors of the bill that had corruption built in to it.
