I don't know about you, my friends, but I am getting sick and tired of the duplicitous attitude by many Western governments and institutions to corruption in our part of the world, and the involvement of western financial insitutions in perpetrating and sustaining it. By all means: Our society, our economy - and those around us by the way - are paying a terrible, a high price for curruption. We have a problem, admittedly, and a boig one at that. Corruption is destroying the foundations of our young democracy and it puts a huge burden on our economy, our law-enforcement agencies, honest tax-paying citizens. But let us remember that all this money goes somewhere: Private banks and financial institutions, primarily in the West. I am so happy to see Shebeen has posted an article about this truth: WORLD: How the West is hiding the loot of corruption Sure, also Zimbabwe is being systematically destroyed by amongst other things, corruption. But it is high time the West admits to the problem in its own backyard and starts taking responsibility and action. The double standards are glaring, and the hypocrisy sickening!

The more I spend time as an adult on the blue planet, the more I realise what all humans seemingly have in common:corruption and double standards, it is the extend that sets them apart respectively, so the question is to what extend is the Namibian financial systems, grn and business sector contributing to creating inequalities by having double standards, and is there anything that can be done about it? How far can one really respect, what banks, municipalities and organizations in general refer to as policies if it can be bend for the one individual only to be recited to the other indivivual, based on reasons, like 'it is who you know that counts';'the haves gain and the have nots don gain anything', 'political affiliation', which family one comes from, which tribe one comes from, etc, etc,???
