Dear Editor,
There are some striking similarities between the two ongoing court cases of equal importance – the extradition case and the election fraud case.
Both have consumed the public with the former moreso than the latter, for obvious reasons. The latter seems to have faded into the background and has been ongoing for some time now.
Both expose intriguing and intricate aspects of law and legal maneuvers with defence lawyers exploiting these to the maximum to their clients’ benefits.
Both remain in the lower court.
Taxpayers have borne the brunt in legal fees and other costs for both.
There is no clear indication when either one will conclude.
There might be other considerations, but as far as I am concerned both cases are tied to forces beyond their making.
