In a clan, society or community, it’s policy makers and opinion leaders who are true representatives of the people. We constantly accuse those who embezzle public funds, forgetting they are mirrors of ourselves.
Even if you replace the thieves, the new crop of cadres will implore new high-tech gimmicks to skim off taxpayers’ money.
Chances are high that they will do worse than the previous set of cadres. Corruption begins with you. You are the very person who entices a police officer into accepting a bribe in order to let you off the hook for a traffic offence and then you claim the Police are the most corrupt.
