If they have repented, then why not?

So, rapists, murderers and corruptors may lead this country.

Congratulations, it’s your turn to bring this country wherever you want. It’s crazy.

I think the committee has given me the reason I need not use my vote ever again.

Nobody in the government is right these days. All they care about is how to be wealthy by stealing poor people’s money.

There shall be repercussions someday.
Jose Christie

I personally disagree with allowing former convicts their political rights, except their right to vote.  

More than that, especially granting them to become legislators is politically and criminally oriented. It’s extremely degrading!

A politician should have good morals and good ethics, especially those who will serve as members of the House.

It would be difficult for many people when former convicts, including embezzlers, corruptors, murderers and rapists are granted their political rights so that they can become legislators.

It will be inevitable that these people will be branded as criminals although they have repented and are attempting to lead a normal life.

It would be different if they only committed minor crimes or they became prisoners as a result of a political matter.

Therefore, I do not agree with the committee’s approval of their political rights.
