They are trying to divert attention away from the controversial parking meter scandal which triggered daily protest against the government. While they are busily stealing in government they are pretending to be saints by bringing charges of corruption against their political adversaries.

This move by the PNC will galvanize more opposition to the government. The PNC is acting carefree thinking that they don't need votes from the AFC or any other group since they will resurrect the Burnham magic to keep themselves in power way beyond 2020. This will not happen. People have gotten accustomed to freedom and economic growth and they will demand that the PNC leave government by the ballot. International pressure will be brought on this regime if continues to act in this high-handed fashion.
