Building a developed and prosperous society begins with the fight against corruption and injustice. Fighting corruption and injustice, on the other hand, rests on and with political leaders and strong state institutions with political will and independence to fight the menace. Therefore, electing political leaders in a democratic, transparent, free, fair and peaceful elections is the major weapon to fight corruption and injustice in a society through strong state institutions. However, when leaders are elected in a compromised and flawed electoral processes in connivance with state institutions, the political leaders will lack the WILL to deal with corruption and injustice as they are beneficiaries of the system. What shall we expect from politicians and state institutions when they obtained power through rigging and stealing electoral victories. It’s a sellout; a recipe to looting and rapping the state resources. If the electorates tolerate and overlook, it shall fester to infect all the fabrics of the society. It therefore becomes the root cause of poverty, weak state institutions and breakdowns of law and order giving rise to crimes and impunity, instabilities, unemployment; instead of developments and economic prosperity for all rather than for few.
