"We have a robust judicial system, why don't we avail it? Our courts have performed so wonderfully," he said.
The vice-president said corruption has been weeded out from the system under the current regime.
"I have seen times when it was thought that law cannot reach some people, brokers were everywhere and corruption was rampant. But these times are now over.
"There was a time when our power corridors and governing system were infested with power brokers and corrupt elements. These corridors have now been sanitised and brokers neutralised," he added.
