"The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He hears nothing, sees nothing, takes no part in political life. He doesn't seem to know that the cost of living, the price of beans, of flour, of rent, of medicines, all depend on political decisions. He even prides himself on his political ignorance, sticks out his chest and says he hates politics. He doesn't know, the imbecile, that from his political non-participation comes the prostitute, the
abandoned child, the robber and, worst of all, corrupt officials, the lackeys of exploitative multinational corporations".
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, it is still regrettable that the majority of the members of our political parties and politicians do not yet include the critical elite of our society. They still see politics as something too dirty.
Whether we like it or not, history has shown that the elite of any society, especially its professional cadre, and the very best of them decide the direction of the nation when they come to a consensus about the pathway for their nation, even if they belong to different political parties.
Where are all the people who have built things with their hands in our society? What are they doing outside of Government? Where are the founders of the big banks, businesses, telecoms in our body politics?
If they succeeded in their endeavours, why dont they employ their expartise in governance?
Lets wake up.
We must not all vie for electoral posts/offices but we can b involved in d governace process n polity.
