Why leaders must seek moral uprightness in their quest to lead

Even in politics, there is a big difference between being legally right and morally right. One can be legally right but morally wrong. Yet, morality is the precursor for justice. Seeking legal right without embedding morality is wasted energy, resources and time. There is so much effort by both Jubilee and NASA to get their act legally right. But nothing, if at all, is given to us in terms of moral righteousness in reducing the political tension risking our own national peaceful existence. We need law and order to govern ourselves. Every society has its mechanisms of creating and sustaining its systems of governance as well as public conduct of those running those systems. We are no exception. For that we have a constitution that we fall back to as and when need arises.
