Re: Pak Judiciary 3rd most corrupt institution - TI
yes the reason is simple. The army chief calls you into his head quarters and sacks you and than puts your whole family under house arrest. That is intimidation at its worst. The fault lies more with banana dictators like Mush than the judiciary.
Ehsan bhai, what you mentioned is decent way of doing things :D A crook army chief would visit a person house, ask him to resign, and if not, shoot him dead and then declare that the person is missing. Soon new person would get appointed. Believe me, that is how it happens in banana republics, where politicians, judiciary, bureaucracies are all corrupt and then crook army chief breaks into power. [What I have heard, President Ghulam Ishaq Khan was threatened by a general who visited President house to take his resignation, that he resign or get prepared to die, then and there (killed)].
Judiciary and bureaucracy becomes corrupts if politicians in power are corrupt. Obviously, if politicians are honest, judiciary and bureaucracy cannot do corruption. In only such corrupt country army can move into power. The reason is not that army may not want to, as an army chief of any country can have bad intentions. Reason is that, in honest environment, no army chief would dare to. Thus the power of politicians is in their honesty.
So, if one sees a banana republic or army ruling a country, the people to blame is not army but politicians of that country, as they are corrupts and thus could not create that love and respect in the country where most government organs respect them and scared of them, including army. It is that respect that gives fears to army chief to not act against politician in power. Even if politicians are ruling such banana republic, they rule curtsey of the army who may not act even though the environment is conducive for them to take over.
