NPP Justice Promises Hit Procedural Delays ⚖️

The commentary highlights significant delays by the National People’s Power (NPP) administration in fulfilling key campaign promises related to justice, despite making 1,335 manifesto promises concerning past crimes, assassinations, and abductions. • Backlog & Justification: The government faces a backlog of over 21,000 files (probes/investigations). Delays are officially attributed to the need for thorough, accurate investigations, being "stuck at the technicality of it," and ensuring cases are complete before court submissions. • Reported Action (Deputy Minister's Figures): • 7 former ministers/politicians are reportedly in jail. • 25 politically connected individuals are in jail or facing courts. • 35 government officials are being taken to court. • High-Profile Delays: Minimal progress is noted on the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks (4/21), which the current opposition, while campaigning, promised to resolve "instanter." The case is now described as "complex." • Other Stalled Commitments: Key systemic changes like abolishing the executive presidency and boosting export earnings are also delayed or in "abeyance." This contrasts with the impending import of 1,775 diesel double cabs. • Public Frustration: The perceived governmental apathy over procedural delays is leading to public frustration, raising questions about whether the silence is strategic or merely circumstantial.
