ON THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION

If you noticed very well, corruption is not a name of a person. Corruption is a system, a system built by people, human beings. The reason why corruption continues to thrive is because it has a system that sustains it, the system celebrates it, protects it, rationalize it, and support it. The fight against corruption is not and should not be a fight against people, it should be a fight to create a system that ejects corrupt people.

When there is a system that does not accommodate corruption, corrupt people will be extinct. The wrong philosophy we have held for so long is the concept of fighting against people, fighting against past people without creating a system that will crucify them. The way out for Africa is that, it must establish a system that monitors its people and punishes those that oppose its ideals. When we have a working and effective system, we will no longer have to worry about who is corrupt or why he is corrupt, automatically he or she will be ejected.

However, systems are built by individuals and on the ideals of individuals. It is people, individuals that stand at the foundation of great establishment. Behind every successful organization, movement or revolution lay a great soul that suffered to bear the burden for the dream he has. This is one trick we often forget and this is one thing that colonialism robbed us of, they killed our very founding fathers, the men that had the dream for what we needed to become, the men that should be the bedrock of our nations. (Thomas Sankara, Samora Machel, Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba etc).

I believe, strongly, that what we need are men that will come on board and build systems that will survive their deaths. Men and women that will become foundations for the true great Africa that we need.

Corruption is not a person, it is a system. Build a system and there will be no corrupt people.

Unless these men and women prevail, we will continue to see posts like this.

Good Day Africans.
