After Capitol: Reflecting on our own morally impeachable politics!

Even if we were to put morality and integrity aside, and vote on the basis of policy contribution and liberal debate of ideas, still, the outcome would be shameful.

Nations fall, democracies regress. This is the nature of any human construct. Decades after our democratic and political independence, the moral and ethical transgressions, which have become the hallmark of poor countries the world over, have knocked at our front door. In fact, they have been knocking for years, ringing true the notion that our ‘exceptionalism’ amongst our African peers is no more. If it's not a former President who won't excuse the nation from politically self-actualising and moving on, or the acute failure of political parties to provide strategic leadership in a time of crisis, it's the seemingly lax attitude given to improper conduct in the civil service.
