Choosing A Leader (Continued)

It has been a long time since I have a written an article like. It is actually a continuation of the article I published over a month ago. Here's the link https://read.cash/@Mofif/the-election-choosing-a-leader-adf5feff

In that article I talked about the things you have to look out for before choosing anyone for a government position. I wrote about looking at the family, political and educational background. In this article I will be doing the same thing but in a different way. I will be talking about the things to watch out for. Meaning how to spot red flags exhibited by any leader or politician.

If the politician has a previous record of money mismanagement or embezzlement watch out. This is what we call financial corruption. There are different types of corruption but this is the worst. Someone that cannot be trusted with money cannot be trusted with anything at all. If they have mismanaged other people's money and even government I don't think they deserve to lead anyone.

A leader needs to know how to handle money and must have a certain level of financial literacy. It is very risky to trust taxes with people who lack the necessary knowledge of basic economics. If this happens the economy of that country will continue to experience a downward trend. The economy sector of a country is one of the most important ones and it is not to be toyed with.

People with a past history of embezzlement have shown over time not to be good leaders. Infact when they get into office they only embezzle more funds because they are greedy and never truly satisfied. Always wanting more and more. The dangerous and concerning thing about this is that it affects everyone including businesses and families. They are stealing directly from the people and it is the same people that are feeling the effect. People especially voters should make sure that leaders like this never get elected.

I will also talk about criminal history. A leader with a past history of crime especially robbery, arson and fraud should be avoided. This is a big red flag. I would have said that people who have committed crimes in the past no matter how small it may be should not be elected but I will be sounding very harsh and too strict. We shouldn't judge a changed man by his past.

But still crimes such as the one I mentioned should not be overlooked if not we are in deep trouble. We don't know the kind of person he is or what he will become once he enters office. He/she might be connected to an organized crime syndicate and trying to use the government for their nefarious activities. It is too dangerous for we the citizenry to allow such to happen. We will be failing ourselves, children and the generation yet unborn.

I will stop here for today but will continue in another article. There is so much to write about but I do not want to put it all in one article. Let me spread it.

Till next time guys.
