The five events that happened last week in the country, of which four were at Parliament, need more interrogation. There was a win by the minority over the majority. This was made possible by the two-thirds rule while some lawmakers chose to abstain and others deliberately interfered with the process. By so doing, corruption invoiced the citizens.
These issues shape democracy and feed into the stability of the nation. Watching events at Parliament, I concluded the two-thirds majority rule or supermajority means that minority dictated over the majority in situations where decisions are made without full information.
