Evidence

Since the Supreme Court was already in the regime’s pocket and the police under its control, the regime focused its attention to reforming parliament. Since Sharmarkee, Egal, and Yassin knew that they could not buy all MPs all the time and that enough disgruntled MPs could derail their plans, they endeavored to change the constitution in order to turn parliament into a pliant institution. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 1030
