Not enough.

Ten years of court hearings! Learned judges and lawyers, justice delayed is no justice.

Minister Wednesday, 24 October 2012 08:32 AM

He must be provided satisfactory medical assistance, locally or overseas at the state expense. Because he served the nation honestly and as a result was subject to brutal attack by criminals. Who were behind those criminals is another factor to find out.

These culprits lived a 10 years happy life, while the victim lived a 10 years miserable life.
Justice delayed is justice denied!

It is very unfortunate that it took as long as ten years for justice to be meted out

Mr.Ambanwala is a role model. The level and height of Corruption in this country has taken away one eye in tis instances. Let it be an eye opener to the authorities.
