Columnist Ahmed Saeed writes in his article saying as the GPC ruling party is holding its conference we ask it to ponder for long the solution included in the JMP project to encounter corruption. More than once leaderships of the GPC have demanded to provide them with evidence on presence of corruption. But now hey can no longer demand for that because the GPC government has repeatedly offered evidence on the presence and spread of corruption. We have not witnessed that any of such issues published in newspapers to be dealt with and the corrupt have been held accounted or stood trial. Anyway we ask no more than there should be accountability of the corrupt in dependence on reports of the government in this regard. How can the ruling party confront the corruption at a time it strands in such a negative way even towards what its government is doing? How would the party confront corruption and put an end to it and place its government apparatuses at healthy climates t be able to properly play their role in serving the people?
