The precedent it would set, the vast numbers of cadres involved required to be similarly "let off" so enormous, it is inconceivable and the cost so staggeringly high both in financial terms and the loss of credibility as a country, to make it impossible.

How many more times would the country again be held to ransom? Julius would for one be salivating at the prospect!

Hundreds of thousands, through all layers and branches of Government would be demanding similar leniency - sheer madness!
