In fact, it states that no public office holder shall accept employment with an entity with which he or she has had official dealings. And yet, the Minister of Justice has official or indirect dealings with the courts when he drafts legislation. Should he be defeated at election time, as he is a lawyer, he can go and argue cases before the courts. However, since he has had official dealings with the courts, this actually would not be possible.
Is my reading of this subsection accurate, or am I mistaken?
