Mob pursuit of the CJ just will not do

Time and time again we have been witness to the numerous instances of people in public and private office being deemed guilty of actions, demeanours and devious behaviour without the natural course of resignation from the public office they hold. The case of the Chief Justice is different. The throng calls for his resignation.

It is clearly a case that he who has the biggest stone should throw it.

The bacchanal and mauvais langue have so tainted our souls that we neither see the right nor seek the righteous path.

I stand in support of the Chief Justice.

I believe the system is indeed flawed and patently corrupted by the actions and intentions of the many who call for justice.

Lady justice grimaces as we pursue our pleasure. One of the main passions in our country is to dev o u r e a c h other.

W e do not s e e m to lack t h e c u n - n i n g , like a serial killer, to pursue our prey, the ones who try to follow after righteousness and stumble along the way.

One wonders then who would have been standing if the stones were thrown at the last regime.

The follies of the leadership gave birth to such extreme deviations that the proverbial mirror on the wall shattered with the preponderance of truth that it spoke.

I write with a conviction that our nation needs to have a conscience that is nurtured by love, not the c a l l ou s , uncaring p u r s u i t of men of h o n o u r and dist i n c t i on who may or may not have faltered in their actions.

For those who call for justice in an untimely manner, having been “Rip van Winkles” and missed the real mess-ups of the previous government, I say check yourself.

Think again.

The folly of our efforts to implicate others is a characteristic cancer of our society that undermines the efforts of the few proponents of truth and justice among us.

So, some among us raise hands in moblike madness, playing mas with our destiny, seeking to bring rectitude with an attitude that is taking us down the path of dishonesty to the town of despair.

I am truly troubled by the state of affairs.

For those who rise in comfort each day to do their dastardly acts, I say God does not sleep and what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

I pray that we will be able to achieve the true moral standard that our nation desires.

I am for truth and justice in the land but this mob behaviour just will not do. Let those without sin cast the first stone. I rest my case.
