Corrupt politicians


It was a shocking piece of news when I found out that KEPZ was not getting permission because its organisers could not satisfy some influential politicians. Really, I am surprised why those politicians cannot be happy with their existing assets. The assets of our politicians cannot be seen because, it is alleged, they are saved in some other names.

The politicians have amassed great fortunes. Many of them own houses in European and American cities. But such things are of course not compatible with their known sources of income.

So how can we expect better governance? The corrupt politicians will have to retire before we can overcome the problem of being the most corrupt nation in the world!
