How about appointing a commission to look into the political victimisation in the present government. ? Why not appoint members from the ethnic minorities to balance the representation. ?

No action by this government . Only they are good at appointing commissions. I am sick of this government and its action. Please go home.

PCoI recommendations so far prove political witch hunt of the prez govt programme... why waste tax payers money on retired judges ... Do it yourself rather than told the judges in clandestine and report comes as their own .. disgrace commissions...
