Comment on The politics of the Ethiopian Justice Sector Reform Program: Justice “reform” or “deform”? by Fayisa

Fayisa — Tue, 21 May 2013 23:28:32 +0000

Well articulated my friend. Good job man. This will hopefully clarify the invisible hand in the Ethiopian justice system for those who like judging by the cover. Ethiopia has beautiful laws twisted in their implementation. Just last year, I met a professor in Sheraton Addis who carries Ethiopian Constitution with him and likes talking about how good it is. He says this document looks like his country’s constitution. This guy is from Europe. I told to his face that is just the face of the system and not the substance. Here is the substance of that dark and dangerous system. No government has yet come to Ethiopia to do what the law says although we don’t have many good laws at the same time. It is one thing to write and read but another thing to implement and live with it. The justice system reform in Ethiopia is an ‘indoctrination’ program to use the words of Tefera Waluwa, x-minister of Ministry of of Capacity Building. This minister was at the apex of the reform program and publicly says that Ethiopia needs indoctrinated judges that stand guard for the so called constitution. That is the mission in mind when they set-up judicial training institutes all over the country. They included some legal debates just to fake the game. All they do was baptizing justice sector professionals in a mediocre mind prepared system designed to keep the supremacy of the narrow ruling party’s politics. It amazes me to remember when they put justice sector professionals to a training camp, bombard them with a political part’s ideology, make them self-evaluate to check if they are in tandem with the currency of the politics. More surprising though is the fact that these people sit for exam and put under another pressure evaluating their views based on the results. I remember that some judges were denied certificates of attendance by the Institute in Adama/Oromia while at the same time telling them that no certificate no office. Anybody who has participated in the reform program of the criminal procedure code of Ethiopia in 2010 would immediately flee the country like I did. The cadre judges from Federal Supreme Court dictate participants of the workshops on what constitutes crime, how it should be investigated, prosecuted and sentence handed out. Their message exactly tells you that anybody walking on the street can be arrested and tried if they want. Actually that is what they do. Some intellectuals from universities and some people in the profession like myself opposed the extreme move encroaching upon freedom. But the answer is rejection and labeling. They are disrespectful and arrogant that you cannot tolerate working with them. I personally received threats from members of Caffe Oromia when I opposed to Wereda Courts reporting to the so called Council of Wereda People’s Representatives as part of reform against the clear provision of the constitution that requires reporting only at Supreme court level. Men, they have long list of the idiocy of the system in Ethiopia that I cannot finish writing. I appreciate this piece of contribution by my friend.
