Terrible noise..... all the time - day and night, the 20th reminder....

How strange that our local MP, Mr. Joho, who purports to be a Muslim and so does his huge extended family which lives in a palatial house in our Municipal Estate, cares not a jot for the call to prayer or the neighbourhood.

Every now and then, there's a dark grey coloured small car which shows up at his place and it is ALWAYS playing very loud, boom, boom kind of music. Just now it's in his compound and for a while both the call to prayer from the mosque and this music (racket), were competing with each other on who could be the loudest!

This so-called MP and his huge family, seem not to care anymore about the disturbance they and their visitors cause to the neighbourhood at any time of the day or night. By becoming an MP, this man and his family have magically become above the law!

Calling our questionable cops is an exercise in futility (I've tried it and the last time I did a couple of days ago, I was told by the cop answering to first dial 999 which never works and to go and collect them as they didn't have a car!), of course, at the best of times and especially when they hear that this racket is somehow connected to a politician, then, they are very averse to taking any action!

According to them, our politicians are totally above the law....., still, though, when talking to them, they give the impression that this is no longer the case. In actual fact, it is STILL the norm and one can literally count on one's fingers the numbers of times a cop is bold and courageous enough to face up to these goons disguised as politicians!

With such 'leaders' and upholders of the law, is it any wonder that we're stuck in the same place - going round and round in endless circles? Will this trend ever end? We're perpetuating lawlessness even in the coming generations.
