Political thieves

These days,corruption,looting,embezzlement,looting of public treasury,misappropriation which use to be a thing of shame in the past is gradually becoming official. Everyday, we see political office holders not earning up to 25million naira flaunting exotic cars worth over 100million naira while the masses from whose tax these funds were gotten wallow in abject poverty. In the words of wise Ekhator, those who steal with pen are dare devil robbers even worse than those who rob with guns. The politicians capitalizes on our ignorance and the weakness of the judiciary to carry out their looting plans.Imagine a judiciary sometime ago granting bail of 75,000 naira to someone found guilty of embezzling 750million naira.it's a shame that even the EFCC have become robbers themselves only witch hunting those against the party in government after being tipped.The sad thing now is that the politicians having stolen public funds bring this same funds and empower two security guards, this makes the society celebrates that for the feeling that they are being philanthropic rather than stoning them to death for being bold to steal our sweat.This practice of political "lebulebu"  has transverse history and if care is not taken,might even become the slogan of the Nigerian state.
The only way out is to place capital punishment on corrupt office holders as china does which leads to execution of any politician who is found guilty embezzlement or looting of public treasury. This would on the long run help check the excessive stealing obtainable in political offices.
