  • Unfortunately, the MACC has no power to charge anyone. The power comes from the Attorney General.

  • G25 is asking for the substantially improbable from our political parties. The election system is set on money-politics mode & it needs a collective political will to change that.

    In this coming election, honest candidates do not win elections.
