Corrupt leadership is not the root cause of a country’s problems but rather the effect of another greater problem, which is the ‘corruption of knowledge’.

IN a democratic society people are “the masters” because they have the power to choose their leaders. It is assumed that the majority of the public know what is good for them and the country, and that they will only choose good people as their leaders because only good people will be able to bring goodness to society.
