Politics / CCB, CCT, ACJ Acts Amendments: Message For Senate, Buhari by emmym16(m): 4:09pm On Apr 15, 2016 |
It is ridiculous and unfortunate that despite
the current difficulties that Nigerians are
facing, our distinguished Senators decided
to turn the National Assembly to a National
House of Comedy. Nigerians expected that
the priority of the present Senate would be
drafting and sponsoring of bills that will
make positive impact on the economy
especially on the prevailing forex crises but
behold, our ‘distinguished’ elected
representatives decided to embark on a
laughable and stupid wild goose chase by
sponsoring and allowing a bill that seeks to
weaken and frustrate the activities of The
Code of Conduct Bureau and The Code of
Conduct Tribunal, an institution established
to discourage corruption and prosecute
individuals suspected to have made false
asset declaration.
The Senate claims that the bill is meant to
give opportunity to the accused to defend
his or herself at the Bureau before
prosecution. This is ridiculous! It is
ridiculous because during every prosecution,
suspects are given adequate opportunity to
defend themselves with the assistance of
lawyers. So, the Senate should bear in mind
that the bill is not only a failure on arrival
but an abuse of court process and an insult
to our justice system. If suspects should be
allowed to defend themselves before
prosecution, then there is no need
approaching the court. Since our
constitution grants a suspect the right to be
deemed innocent until proved guilty by the
court, why is the Senate pushing such bill?
Such bill is nothing but a mockery of our
constitution and by sponsoring and allowing
it to pass through second reading, the
Senate just exhibited some atoms of fear of
possible prosecution and conviction by the
courts. This is because any innocent
suspect won’t be trying to avoid or frustrate
his or her prosecution, rather, such suspect
will be always willing and anxious to open
his or her defense in court.
Moreover, why sponsoring and hurrying the
passage of such controversial bill at a time
when the Senate president is facing
prosecution at the same code of conduct
tribunal? That alone puts the integrity of the
Bill to question. In a sane clime, the Senate
President should resign in order to have
more time for his defence in court but over
here in Nigeria, instead of resigning, our
own distinguished Senate President decided
to give his support for the amendment of the
Acts that serves as backbone to his trial.
Having lost in several attempts to escape
trial, Senate President Bukola Saraki now sit
down to support the weakening of his trial
through some Acts amendments.
Furthermore, by embarking on the
amendments of the Code of Conduct
Bureau, The Code of Conduct Tribunal and
The Administration of Criminal Justice Acts
at same time especially at a time when the
Senate president is facing trial, and by
allowing the Code of Conduct Bureau and
The Code of Conduct Tribunal Act
amendment bill to pass through second
reading within forty-eight hours of its
introduction, the Senate is simply telling
Nigerians that it is afraid that the Senate
President will speedily (be convicted) receive
justice because with the current provisions
of the Administration of Criminal Justice
Act, there is no more room for lawyers or
judges to prolong or frustrate trials.
The Senate should know that its members
will certainly need to hold president Buhari
on his trouser before he will sign such
fraudulent and ridiculous bill into law. Even
though the legislature can veto the president
if he refuses signing a bill, the Senate
should note that in cases like this, the
legislature will always have its say while the
executive will always have its way. The
National Assembly should also note that
Nigerians are not fools and they can’t sit
and watch its members frustrate the
ongoing anti-corruption war by any means.
President Buhari should as a matter of
urgency, maximally utilise the various
powers vested on him as the commander-
in-chief to safeguard the letter and spirit of
our constitution as he sworn to do before
hijackers turn our nation into a lawless
comedy zone.
