  Only a massive demo and civil disobedience can stop this orgy of greed afflicting our politics;
  
  " I can sense the same yearning for a change now and that will drive people to the streets if government do not sit up and address with all seriousness the problems confronting this nation. Those who have ears let them listen."

  " To tackle corruption adequately, I recommend the setting up of a government accountability project, a private watch dog group to ensure accountability on the part of the government. The Economic and Organized Crime Unit and CHRAJ, however well intentioned they may be, have been rendered powerless and useless entities and can’t discharge their duties adequately. That is why a private watch dog group is preferred. The current maintenance of law and order and prevention of corruption is systematically flawed. There is also a need to install Inspector Generals in every ministry reporting to a Public Integrity Commissioner (PIC) ( a post created by Parliament) who will have the power to refer corrupt officials for prosecution. The installation of Inspector Generals, and the creation of a Public Integrity Commissioner are important steps to fight corruption and cronyism which in turn will help strengthen democratic institutions in the discharge of its duties and make them more effective.."
