WNAM REPORT: It had been customary with most of our politicians up till recently that during election campaign, at the hustings, they led the people up the garden path by making all sort of promises with them in their speeches in public meetings which they had no intention to keep later on, their object being to hoodwink them to get their votes at the polls.

As far as High Courts and Supreme Court are concerned If they succeed in making trial courts decide criminal and civil cases in double quick time,if the lower judiciary is made to implement the code of ethics meant for judges in letter and spirit and if they succeed in ensuring that criminals don’t get away with their crimes no matter how high they are placed in society politically or due to wealth , they will have earned the respect of all and sundry in the country and remarks of the politicians against them will have no merit,whatever.Their conduct and performance will speak for themselves. The proof of pudding is in the eating it is rightly said.
