So a few more politicians and relatives discover there is a semblance of rule of law still prevalent in the country. This is not to jump to any conclusions. There haven't been any convictions and sentences handed out yet.
In a democracy, elections could relegate a ruling party into opposition or into irrelevance rather abruptly. There aren't many opposition parties both at the state and national level who can claim to be squeaky clean. If these parties win elections with the pledge of cleaner governance and renege on it, their day of reckoning won't be too far. The raucous media would make sure there is plenty of coverage along the way.
Sample this volley of grenades being thrown by someone whose integrity is , shall we say questionable.
At least in theory, scandals like the CWG and 2G spectrum would become increasingly hard to pull off. Hopefully, the practice of corruption in politics is reduced to a trade of spectacularly diminishing returns.
