Proverb 29:2 "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." the politicians aspire for political offices because to get themselves fame, richer, to become by the world and to acquire wealth for their families and not for the supposed interest of the masses. Hence they pay less attention or delayed responses to issues affecting the masses probably their offices are not affected neither their families so they intentionally keep mute until the situation had claimed lives of the citizens. This is callousness. Like you said they ought to be voted out of office. The electorates must also be well educated about casting their votes for whoever.. Finally we need the hand of God to perpetually make these kind of political aspirants to loose elections for they are devil incarnate. Thanks for sharing.
