"The decree not to seal off traffic on Hedong Road was issued by the Secretariat. As the Minister of the Secretariat, I bear inescapable responsibility."
Xue Ji took a deep breath and said, "I will take full responsibility for all consequences arising from the failure to promptly contain the epidemic."
"Prime Minister Xue, I disagree," Dongfang Lu, Assistant of the Ministry of Supervision, shook his head. "The Ministry of Supervision and the Secretariat jointly manage critical affairs and deliberate on state policy. The decision to delay sealing Hedong Road's traffic also involved considerations from the Ministry of Supervision."
Heh. Hearing the words from the other end of the Nearby Worm, Li Ang let out a laugh of utter exasperation. If one person is to bear responsibility for an accident, it can indeed be called inescapable. But if a large group shares the responsibility, then it becomes a case of 'the law does not blame the masses.'
