Corruptistan
This is with reference to your editorial ‘Broken
promises’ (April 22). You are spot on when you say “corrupt candidates will be
voted in and become corrupt lawmakers once more”. Considering that not a single
loan-defaulter, tax-evader or electricity thief has been disqualified by those
who were more concerned with the length of a candidate’s beard than their moral
standing, it is futile hoping for miracles.
So, without further delay, let’s make it
mandatory for all future candidates to be highly corrupt; let’s remove Articles
62 and 63 from the constitution and let’s rename the country ‘Corruptistan’.
