Necessary Evil

I know the image that corruption has in Africa. Apparently it is the reason we dont have

power and running water. I have my doubts about that, but that is important. What is important is that

we need crooks or at least alleged crooks. Without them, we are doomed. Consider this, some

dude steals 7 billion worth of fuel and runs off to the UK attending lavish parties every

weekend. The government doesnt even consider arresting him. Fast forward to when some Kenyan

dudes launder money in some nondescript island owned by the queen. Apparently it is a crime

and the brits want them bad. Suddenly the 7 billion dude is a criminal, has been arrested

and might be extradited or whatever transporting a criminal is called these days. They want

to exchange him for the money laundering folks. Neat
Consider what would have happened if we did not have crooks to exchange! The 7 billion oil

guy would have lived happily ever after and we would be fucked!
Corruption is necessary, at least so we can have crooks to exchange!
