There is a solution to all these issues however they appear insurmountable because of a complete lack of political will.
(i) the tendency of governments (civilian or military) to overburden those already taxed rather than to tax the rich and the influential,
(ii) utilities are priced progressively higher rather than government departments/ministries compelled to clear their bills,
(iii) current expenditure is never slashed in the event of an unsustainable budget deficit while development expenditure that creates jobs and thereby disseminates wealth is,
(iv) accountability remains the prerogative of the center that continues to be lax in going after the corrupt - be they politicians, bureaucrats or military men; and last but not least
(v) mega-scandals are left to the courts to pursue and in case of involvement of government loyalists the investigation that would lead to a guilty verdict is compromised.
