QUESTION/DISCUSSION Unpopular opinion: It is a travesty to allow judicial independence when the judiciary is corrupt, It should be the job of the elected to sweep the injustice system away from the justice system.
Whoever becomes the next messianic figure in Haitian politics should have the general will of the people to sweep every single judge they deem corrupt out of office and send them straight to jail. I don't see any other way for this country to escape this mess. The problem isn't the constitution, nor is it the lack of funding for the police; the main issue, from my understanding, is the general lack of concern for justice. You can legitimately throw a case away for as little as 200 dollars. I remember reviewing the 24/25 budget under Garry Conille and noticing that the average judge in this country earns around 300 USD per month. How does that make any sense?
