That's rather tragic. The judiciary can be reigned in one way or the other by the legislature. Ideally, the country should have a strong executive (like the POTUS) who is accountable to the people instead of the legislature.

Don't know why you were downvoted. That is how separation of powers usually work.

That judges aren't also elected is sometimes a problem, even if they are bound by law. Different countries have different approaches here, the US has its juries, which is an unusual approach compared to other democracies.
