Corruption self examination

- If you usually put more sugar in your tea when in a hotel than you do at home, you're likely to be corrupt.

- If you use more tissue in a public washroom than you do at home, you are a potential thief, if given opportunity you would take what's not yours.

- If you serve yourself more food than you can finish just because someone else is footing the bill, you're greedy.

- If you usually jump queues, you have potential for abusing office if given a powerful position.

- If you are more concerned about knowing someone's surname rather than first name, you're likely to be a tribal bigot. It's even worse when someone tells you their name and you ask, "which tribe is that?"

- If you usually overlap while in traffic jam or have no regard for traffic lights, then you would easily embezzle public funds if you're given a position at a public office since you hate regulation .

- If you channel waste or dirty water from your compound to a neighbour's compound rather than manage it, you're ill-mannered.

If you look at this post and wonder whether it was really necessary to talk about these issues; then you are dishonest and you would easily cover up ills in the society for your own benefit.

Let us try to be people of character wherever we find ourselves.

A country is as good, or bad, as its citizens make it. No Government can take action which ONLY THE CITIZENS can take - individually or collectively.
