Corruption in Paradise (Hawaii Together)
Government Watchdogs Look the Other Way. The host for this show is Keli’i Akina. The guest is Randy Roth.
Too many government watchdog entities appear to have been willfully ignoring, or even tacitly approving, some of Hawaii’s most egregious corruption scandals, according to Randy Roth, law professor emeritus at the University of Hawaii William S. Richardson School of Law.
Those include Honolulu Police Commission, the state and county ethics commissions, the state commissions of judicial conduct and judicial selection, and the state Office of Disciplinary Counsel.
On today’s episode of Hawaii Together, host Keli‘i Akina, president and CEO of the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, talks with Roth about why such watchdogs have been paper tigers in the face of corruption all around them.
