Farce in Constitutional Court as Maluku Ruling Turns to Riot
The results of rampant
corruption allowed to fester and thrive under 9 years of the Democratic
party. A party who won the election on promises to fight corruption.
The seriousness of this incident has wide ranging repercussions that
virtually signal the death knell for the judiciary of this country and
the credibility of the Administration.
Who won any of the elections from the presidential to the village
chief? Nobody can be assured of anything now. The local courts, the high
court, the supreme court and now the constitutional courts all in ruins
and infested with corruption and total lack of any credibility. Any
electoral dispute taken to the Constitutional court is now virtually
void but there is nothing that can be done as there is no possibility
for appeal or revocation of the rulings. So when Megawatti contested the
results of the last election how do we know that she was not correct?
Does anyone wonder why the citizens turn to Islam? It is the only
societal option that offers any stability. This then plays into the
hands of extremists and those that wish to institute Shariah Law.
This is not an incident that can be swept under the carpet. The
government will of course try, the Lame duck will include it in the
last pages of his pathetic and egotistical memoirs and will continue to
sing while the country burns.
The tension is rising and the people are showing that respect for the
law has hit it's lowest point. Is this what people fought for in 1998?
Rampant corruption, incompetence in government, total lack of respect
for the police/judiciary and overall a collapse of democracy.
This is what happens when democracy is highjacked by criminals.
