Description
When top industrialist P jets in with his corporate team to start a new mining business, he believes he is well-versed in the ways of the government and leaves his trusty Man Friday Ola to see the project through. After all the Government has declared itself “pro-development” and promised a “single window” clearance for all job-creating projects. And so we set off with the hapless Ola, negotiating his way through the byzantine corridors of bureaucracy and politics, encountering wily politicians, all-powerful PA’s, wildlife officials, researchers and hired hooligans.
This engaging and darkly humorous satire spares no one – activist, journalist or peon, and while we chuckle we also nod along, recognizing the sad truth that the promised ’ Single Window’ is just an illusion of light in the corridors of power.
