Wow, your friend trying to exonerate himself from a kleptomaniac system filled with klepttes but he's no different from the people in the system he claims to have hate for in as much as he is accepting those funds that aren't originally meant to flow into his pocket. Whether or not he is giving scholarships sponsoring and providing developmental projects in his ward using that money doesn't change the fact that the very money wasn't meant to go through the channel it's passing through.

If he as was really against receiving that money he would have quietly resigned because at the end of it all when the long arm of the law eventually caches up on them the law won't bend for him because he didn't use the money for personal gain but on his ward. It's really sadden that are always the bad people in majority number in every political society than the good guys whose voices can't go far.
