Indeed, a cross section of the  political class today, may have a benefit of hindsight by experience or knowledge through literature, to realize that the present situation calls for great caution and a high sense of responsibility and accountability. Perhaps, considering the worrisome rate of corruption in all spheres of life in the country today.
