-After one year, Penny believes her PNC
Look, I promise (myself) to leave this sensitive national issue, of thievery by executives in public offices, to others for a long while.
But if even half of what the “new” seven-month PPP government is reporting about (alleged) irregular financial practices; manipulation, appropriation and mis-appropriation of funds from the taxpayers’ treasury; alleged corrupt conflict-of-interest dealings regarding huge contracts and even illegal allocation of resources like state lands; if even half of those allegations can be proven true in courts-of-law we, the economically-challenged voter-citizens could be excused for not trusting those who seek votes.
Of course, the “democratic” judicial nature of our rule of law is often favourable to many actually guilty of theft from the public purse. Technicalities of the specific procedures and law, evidentiary short-comings make convicting those guilty of financial malfeasance particularly difficult. After all when top officials, responsible for policy and programmes, succumb to planning theft and significant stealing, good accountants and better attorneys are employed during and after. (But the court of public opinion frequently knows what the court of law needs proof of)
