    To properly get to the bottom of their thieving acts, government should freeze the targeted judges assets immediately. That way we can confiscate their I'll gotten assets upon conviction.

    DEBT COLLECTOR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HONOUR.

    THIS THIEF IS ALWAYS PREACHING VIRTUE WHILE HE PRACTICED, AND STILL PRACTICING VICE.

    KRONFUOR!

  • Judgemujudge 8 years ago

    The judges caught on tape taking bribes should own up instead of looking for technical excuses. The whole thing looks ugly. The sooner our pain is truncated the better it will be us.

  • ENIGMA 8 years ago

    The pain will be elongated because there are corrupt lawyers and judges urging them on, not to mention the corrupt rots at the seat of Government and those waiting in the wings to succeed them.
    No relief from corruption soon ...
