A think we need a leader who has the power to find that corrupt govt officials, we need someone who is not afraid, someone who will not compromise their wrong doings. It is possible to eliminate that corruption.
Here in India, we have seen several such leaders who wanted to take strict action against the corrupt officials. But none of them succeeded in the end, because the lobby of the corrupt employees is too strong. Whenever a corrupt official is either suspended or dismissed, the others in the lobby will group together to protect him.
