We are using public resources to exclude the same citizens by creating phony accountability platforms that are not only manipulable but are a haven for perpetuating theft of public resources. In fact those laws are aiding the commission of electoral malpractices because they are promulgated with just such intent. Politics, as we practise it here, is a game of interests, bereft of any morals. If we continue with shameless deceit to score goals then such short-term, cosmetic approaches will breed unnecessary rifts that may boil to dangerous levels. As it is now, it’s a fertile ground for political machinations and malicious application by the state.
