In some countries I believe that the set of people who runs political affairs are the old ones and is really worrisome, talking about age range 70yrs and above. Like in my country where I'm from these set of people (politicians) just feel they are the only ones fit to run the country and you find it hard to see someone between the age of 40yrs and above to rule as president or any higher position, is really outrageous and irritating. Why is greed speaking more in politics? Must every politician(s) think only about themselves other than the citizens?
I really don't blame most countries that engages in protest year in year out, nobody would be happy to have guys who ship in money into the development of their own businesses other than developing the country.
I'm some African countries such as mine. Politics and positions is for the old and it is like a family business where inheritance is vital. These old leaders do whatever is possible to remain in power, including reducing their aged and by swearing false affidavit to justify it.
They manipulate the electoral system to always favour them even when the masses vote against them.
They launder and lavish public funds for personal purposes and yet they are being praised by the poor and gullible who they enslaved with slavery .
They remember the poor masses once every 4 years which is during the time of the election.
They keep changing youths as the leaders of tomorrow while we are already in the morrow.
