The above is from ADR, Association for Democratic Rights.
An yet we chose these criminal MPs.
Why?
It is because of their money power and the support of the media.
The same media which cries hoarse of corruption in Public Life.
Just think.
The media is responsible for these criminal MPs being elected.
