The talk continues.....

So our esteemed PM has now declared that all 36 PNP MP's will be required to sign the "Emancipation Park declaration". Good move PJ. I hope that those who don't sign, or those who sign but fail to live up to the declaration, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Oops, wait a minute, it isn't legally enforcable, is it? Well, I at least hope that the PM will treat it as if it were enforceable, and punish transgressions with the same harsh penalties brought against those MP's who fail to follow laws such as the one requiring them to declare their assets. No, scratch that, bad example.

Hmmm.....

Ok, I've got it! Any PNP MP who breaks his committment to the declaration should suffer the same fate as those PNP MP's or ministers who were involved in scandals. Yes, that's it. They should suffer the same punishment meted out to those who were involved in the zinc scandal, the furniture scandal, the shell waiver scandal.........hang on. Wasn't that last one PJ?

What's that you say?
Oh, he resigned.
But was elected PNP president less than a year later?
And sworn in as Prime Minister two days after being elected PNP president???

I guess the MP's have nothing to worry about.
