The scourge of corruption.






Corruption destroys society. In a society where corruption is systematically rampant,there will be injustice, unfairness and hopelessness. Only the rich and the powerful enjoy society's resources and are bound to dictate others. Eventually, hard work and creativity will dry up as they are no longer a virtue. It is not what you know, it is who you know, a common and irritating edict.

The poor will remain poor and the rich will become richer. There will be a sense of hopelessness and social mobility will be restricted. The mediocre will rule and the nation's security will be at risk. Well, if you can pay to get power, what stops a wealthy external power from getting you and make you their puppet? By the way, how is one, on a salary, able to come up with so much money? The answer is staring at our face, more corrupt practices!

It is frightening to witness what is unfolding before us. They talk about following the teaching of the Holy Book but now, do you see the forked tongue?..... God, have mercy on all of us.
