“This is a loop we have been through several times. Each generation seems to throw up a bunch of powerful individuals, and sundry cheerleaders, with several lawyers, economists and journalists at the forefront, convinced – without evidence – of their wisdom and ability to steer the nation to glory only if they were to be freed of legal and constitutional restraints. While glory has remained elusive, what we have is an abandoned people whose voice was muffled through the decades but never entirely silenced.”

“Society itself had darkened through the years. No matter. He continued to smile, take short, resolute steps and push back against the shadows. He leaves behind a mighty message. One does what one must to preserve decency in society and to live a decent life oneself.”

“A closer look at the order and the proceedings before the court is essential for placing in context the ill-advised public disquiet caused by the prime minister about its findings. The defence put up before the Supreme Court by the government and the deputy speaker was based, primarily, on Article 69 of the constitution that bars calling into question before any court any action inside the National Assembly or the Senate on grounds of procedural irregularity. Officers or members of parliament vested with power to regulate the procedure or conduct of business of parliament have been declared to be beyond the jurisdiction of any court.”
