We cannot prosper if we ignore corruption

Although the gap between the ruling party and the opposition was reduced significantly in the 2014 general elections, the picture of the future does not look rosy at all.

Instead of more accountability, transparency, and humility, we are seeing the opposite from all sides of the political divide. Journalists are being arrested for exposing corruption, when it should be otherwise. Are our leaders committed to rooting out this cancer? Newspapers and other media are littered with dismissive statements from opposition directed to the ruling party, or vice versa.
