Sexually Active Men, Women In Public Office! It Is all About Ethics

Apr 11, 2012 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,
Without stated and acceptable ethical guidelines, it would be very difficult to hold Public Officials accountable for their sexual activities outside of legal marriage, for acceptable public behaviour.
If you are a married man or woman, it is naturally expected that you behave in such a manner befitting that role, and the obligation expected from you to maintain proper moral behaviour.
Of course, if you are Muslim, you may feel that your religion allows you to have several wives or mistresses, and may conflict with Christian values or morality.
Therefore, if you are Muslim, and subscribe to the view that having several wives or mistresses is what you believe and subscribe to, let it be known publicly, or before accepting an elected Public Office.
No one should be held accountable to the public if he/she is unfaithful to his/her spouse. That matter is strictly personal and private. But if word gets out to the media about this, it should be declared by the alleged party that such matter is private, and will not be entertained publicly.
However, if an elected Public Official’s personal behaviour interferes with his/her Public Duties or functions, then the norm is that we MUST ask that he/she be relieved of his/her duties, pending an investigation or resignation.
