EDITORIAL

Lessons from graft scandal There are three main conclusions that can be drawn from the Siemens case. The first is that any political leader claiming ignorance of cases of corruption within government ranks, within ministries or within his party is, to put it simply, inadequate to serve in the post. Those who knew of the corruption, on the other hand, and chose to hush it up, abetted in a crime. The second conclusion is that the law on the liability of ministers is highly undemocratic and completely undermines the fundamental concept of equality before the law.
