ACC amendments
I found it amusing that the law minister's given reason for the amendments to the ACC law is a desire to see that politicians are not 'harassed'. Frankly, I would have much more respect for him if he simply told the truth which is that no politician and no bureaucrat wants to be held accountable for corruption and hence, to them, an independent ACC is a huge threat. In fairness, this has nothing to do with the minister's political affiliation since former ministers of the previous ruling party believed the same thing. They want to go back to the days of the old Bureau of Anti Corruption which was a cruel joke, to be very charitable.
Simply put, the ministers, politicians, and bureaucrats consider corruption as an entitlement of their jobs. No wonder they hated the caretaker government so much.
