NLC commissioners last hope for saving country from plunder

There was a time when many of us thought things would really get better. Decades of struggle gave birth to a new Constitution, progressive institutions, an inspiring bill of rights and half dozen commissions to give redress if our rights were trampled on again. 

How foolish and naive we were to believe, however, that police would stop killing citizens, that the mafia would disappear into oblivion and that corruption would be a distant memory of an ugly period in the nation’s history. Corruption has evolved and been devolved. A whole new generation of politicians have been initiated into the vice. The extent of the dam corruption is overwhelming, shameless and bottomless. One is tempted to give up or to be on the lookout for a rocket launcher.
