A bigger monster

Many of those who champion the course against corruption, bad governance and social injustice face huge task. Those who are supposed to encourage them are sometimes among the people who will say they are wasting their time shouting at a deaf government.

Our problems in this part of the world ought to have been solved by electing a new government but it’s certain this approach may never be fruitful. The electoral commission which should serve as an umpire in the change process may not totally be independent and unbiased. Though the current leadership of the electoral body is a big improvement to former one, that doesn’t make them near perfect or perfect. The judiciary, the common man last hope is just an extension or tool of the ruling class. A lot are so positive about the activities of the oppositions but they are just another cabal of rogues fighting for their own portion of the loot. The opposition is waxing stronger, claiming territories with the support of the people (who are been deceived). The media only inform the people on what their financial stakeholders want them to.

The opposition have a stronger grip on all of its pawns, the judiciary and even the independent electoral commission of their regions. They claim to represent true democracy but we have seen clear signs of dictatorship. They are riding on the gullibility, illiteracy and trust of the people. Why should I blame them so much when the enlightened ones who ought to be neutral umpires have sold their soul? We have allowed sentiments to erode our rational thinking and have failed to ask questions. We have overlooked corruption within them all because they are opposition who claim to be on our side. We love their corruption as long as they use the media judiciously to brain wash us.

The ruling class as well as the opposition seem to be on different path but yet they are after the same thing. I hope we will realize that the nation is really divided into two; the ruling class which also includes the opposition; and the masses on the other end. When this sinks deep into us, then we will take the future into our hands.

Corruption is the monster we are facing but looking at the tentacles the elites have spread all over the nation which engulfs the judiciary, the security agencies and all others, then we have a bigger monster against us. We have failed as a nation and as a people. We have also failed as a family and society because our leaders are a good representation of what the average man is. Its time to correct these anomalies because enough is enough.
