The Halls of Power

Your humble editor had occasion to visit a couple of government Ministry buildings yesterday and speak with some rather pleasant and dedicated Ministry staff. Holy crap, it looks like they fought a war inside these places! Oh wait. There's hardly any furniture, limited electricity and water, gaping holes in the concrete, bullet scars, busted up darkened staircases, paint peeling, squatters(!), the whole bit. Anyway, we can report that people are working hard to get the government moving, and some furious reconstruction efforts are underway.
