Dear Editor,
There are recent statements issued in the press regarding the legitimacy of the Integrity Commission, and whether or not this commission has the mandate at this time to carry out its function as stipulated in the constitution, since the composition, and thus authority, has been challenged in the court.
If we compare this situation with the ability of the Commissioner of Police to function in that capacity amid challenges as to the lack or absence of consultation on his appointment, then, on moral grounds, all that the Commissioner has done since his appointment should also be deemed unlawful and un-constitutional, and be challenged.
I do believe that the spirit of the law should always take precedence over the letter. We can also argue that, in many cases, the law may be upheld but justice was denied, due to the time it took for decisions to be made. Can we therefore abandon the system?
I say no. We must strive to make it work in the best interest of the citizens. If we react to all the utterances of the Executive, this country will come to a screeching halt!
The higher ground should be taken in this matter. The people are watching.
Everall Franklin,
