JO putting politics before country View(s):The Joint Opposition (JO) is all but flogging a dead horse calling for Provincial elections in the midst of so many other outstanding issues in the country – knowing only too well that the chances of these elections taking place are as unlikely as ‘a snowball’s chance in hell’. In short, a better footing to return to power; politics before country. A Contempt of Court Law is a longstanding requirement in the country so that the public know the parameters of what is Contempt. The Right to Information Law that suffered the same fate then, however, was revived by this Government and passed into law, but not the Contempt of Court Law. Recent public discussion over judges recusing themselves from hearing particular cases has led to calls for a Code of Conduct for the judiciary itself.
