One many articles were created yesterday, I am sure, by the numerous reporters in my country when it was announced that a certain someone was found guilty of involving in money politics. At his party level, where I understand he is holding a quite high post and at the same time, trying to vie for the second top most position. In view of the guilty verdict, he is not allowed to contest any longer.
The few articles on the same news, which I scanned and skimmed anxiously, did not mention at all if there's any effects to his current standings. I am perplexed and worried. If he has been found guilty in this matter, doesn't that reflect the morality of his character? Honesty cannot be compromise at any given time, integrity divided and adapted to suit certain individuals' needs. Should not he at least be punished for this? This same person is also the chief minister of my state. Is he still suitable to hold the highest, most commanding job in my state? He's suppose to lead, cleanly, no? Shouldn't there be any repercussions following that guilty verdict?
He had been found guilty in engaging in money politics, for goodness sake! I think stripping him off his post, and sacking him from his job, both with immediate effect, aren't too much too ask. A person whose has compromised his virtues and integrity ought not even be in the public service, let alone be a leader! Please do not later let me see articles saying that those are of different nature and should not be look at from the same angle. I shudder, now, thinking of that possibility.
Life can be so unfair, I agree, totally. That, the masses can still be coaxed to accept. But I think that the government should not push us too far and think us too stupid to be able to accept such verdict without expecting a more appropriate and fair punishment. To let him stay at his job, is to condone money politics, at the open! I am appalled, dismayed, and never had been so afraid...
