My friend decided to set up a foundation that gives scholarships and builds schools. With the illegal funds, he usually receives every month, he has been able to finance the education of many poor students in his ward and has also built and refurbished a few schools.

He knows that those funds he receives are illegal but he vowed not to use them for his personal needs. What is your opinion on this matter?

Politics is a bad game that if you can't beat them you will have to join them and am sorry to say that most politicians in public offices are corrupt and due to this embezzling of public funds have now made many people think that politics is about enriching themselves instead of to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people which has led to serious competition among politicians who are seeking for public offices as some of them goes too extreme just to make sure they succeed.

In the case of your friend, he tried by using another way to still give the people what is rightfully there's even though it looks like he is using his own personal funds to do that in the eyes of the people but since he can't reject the money given to him by some top allies he work together with in the office because if he fails to accept the money they will see him as a rebel or someone who wants to work against their interest.
