Says he: ”There is need to build up strong institutions for them not to be under the caprices of those in temporary power. Military can only exercise reasonable use of firearms because it will be illegal to shoot at unarmed individuals. If a civilian leader engages the use of force to keep himself office, then that is detrimental to democracy.
That statement should not have been made by the President because it is not the military that defends individuals, it’s our law courts. Military forces can only exercise reasonable use of firearms because it will be illegal to shoot at unarmed individuals. I accept that snatching of ballots boxes must be condemned in its totalty but the President should have said same thing on the issue of falsification of results for people to negate what he think is evil.
Like I said earlier, democracy thrives on the ability to conduct free, fair and credible elections. Once that process is truncated by using the military to scare people from participating and by simple falsification of result, with the connivance of other institutions of government that are meant to be umpires, then we don’t have democracy. What we call that is dictatorship.
