EC's role
If we remember correctly, a government high-up made an unpleasant remark about three commissioners of the ACC serving prior to this reorganised ACC. This at least invited a protest from one respected commissioner. The commissioner asked for an apology from him and also asked him to withdraw his comments. The adviser made the comment because of the inactive role of the three commissioners of the then ACC.
We have a completely opposite situation in our newly organised Election Commission. The commissioners are overactive. We do not know what kind of comments on their over-active performance would be most appropriate.
In the USA, the famous comedians play a very important role in projecting the controversial aspects of high profile personalities in politics or entertainment. The people in the USA enjoy lighter moments in life which bring longevity and happiness. I think our media can also do the same on a regular basis to get across the message in a different and attractive format acceptable in our culture.
