Very detailed article, it has clarified many misconceptions.
Much appreciated Ijaz. I am glad it has helped clarified misconceptions. Sadly due to time constraints, I was not in a position to go into the paper more extensivley. Thank you for your kind words.
Well written. Especially, offering the model to other countries. It should stand out to other nations. I believe it is a good representation of judiciary’s implemented ideas.
Thank you Umar for your kind words. I am glad you agree that there is so much scope for this model as suggested to be adopted by developing countries. In my view it is an excellent tool to be deployed as an anti-bribery / corruption mechanism.
