Breaking News: Amendment of NEC Act means dictatorship - You can't challenge govt's NEC decisions in court.

By Senior Lawyer Anthony Rake.

THE National Executive Council Act was just amended last week by this government without much debate to include a provision that says that any NEC decision is non-justiceable. 

This means that any NEC decision now will not be able to be challenged in a court of law, including appointments of senior government bureaucrats, or further obtaining NEC approved loans outside the scope of our Fiscal Responsibility Act, which of course was amended more than once to continue get loans, and just to do anything and everything they (NEC) wishes to do.

Meanwhile, also in the same week, a day apart, the Constitution was also successfully repealed to disallow any Vote of No Confidence.

Effectively, the two arms of our government, the Executive and the Legislature, are immune from scrutiny and accountability.

Is a very scary country now we are heading to. The people the NEC appoints can't be even scrutinized. They will appoint whoever they want and that no one has the power to challenge appointments. In a way, every head of department and government organization will be picked by them, whether maritarious or not, and effectively, all state institutions shall follow the orders by the NEC, of which, the Prime Minister is the chairman!

What is left of once an independent country now will be left with a total dictatorship, controlling all state institutions. You can't go against. If you do, the NEC will remove you and put another person, which is non-justiceable (meaning no one can challenge that in court) or other independent authority for that matter.

When VoNC is given less chance, and when NEC's decisions are non-justiceable, then you are definitely talking about a dictatorship! Even the electoral commissioner will be on the mercy of the Government. Or the Police Committal or the Ombudsman Commissioner.

Corruption can take its cause, which is a natural child of the laws they are introducing.

Is this the kind of country we want for our children? The recklessness of this government to remain in power and do whatever it wants without accountability and scrutiny is very scary. God help us🇵🇬😭..
