From 1993, there has been an increase in the level of greed associated collectively, with MPs. It almost reached a crescendo during the Ninth Parliament and the rejection of such a huge number should have served as an indication of the frustration the masses were feeling.

Indeed this unique achievement in times of peace and when competition across the political landscape was almost even, is something that should have sent alarm bells ringing. It was a sign of an extremely restless society.

However, due to the tribal incitement that the politicians engaged in, their thinking up to this point is that the tribal card will be played again and mass anger will dissipate in the tribal jigsaw.

That thinking could be very far from the reality. We have encouraged the masses to be riotous. Seeds of violence have been planted. Pushing the same people to turn against their leaders is now as easy as ABC.

Let the MPs and others in authority listen to the masses. Let them know that if they truly care for this country, they should stop pushing their luck.

There is a point that the masses never go beyond, That point has already been reached and only a spark is missing.
