Bribery corruption
We have started to hear and read about corruption and corruptors, which make us ask those with silent mouths and ‘empty’ pens: Who are the corruptors? Reports and editorials come through social media that make the citizen feel as if he is staying in a land that bears tons of treasures, and those who harvest them are certain unidentified personalities. We must admit that all countries make mistakes, and corruption bells are rang, but the amount of what we hear and read about crimes taking place in our society make us say: Stop piddling in the name of corruption in order to be bribed.
There are mistakes in the society, and it is possible to correct them, but what we read from a black theater that carries plots and conspiracies in the name of corruption make the citizen unproductive and will not bring reform. Rather, positive energies will be paralyzed in our society; a message to those who claim reform and fight to eradicate corruption.
You should take the documents you have to the security authorities because, as the saying goes “he who keeps silent when it comes to do the right thing is a mute devil.” Reform is done by confrontation, and anything else in the form of wrangles through WhatsApp and Twitter is useless. What is happening under the slogan of corruption without declaring who are the corruptors reminds me of an incident I personally went through some years back.
About five years ago, a writer who hunts for mistakes by some of the dignitaries took a picture of a tweet made by a well-respected personality socially and economically, and that writer started to speak about corruption towards that personality. But that writer changed his colors like a chameleon when he same personality he criticized gave him money to buy his silence; not out of fear or weakness, but out of sympathy towards the shape-shifting ‘chameleon.’
So when the chameleon was fed with money, the play’s plot opened up and took us to the end, as if corruption was over, the society became righteous and the symbol of corruption, which was crying out in the name of the society (but actually seeking money), was eradicated. The country is sold in the name of corruption for the sake of bribery. How many chameleons are there in our society, living around us and changing colors, pry on some personalities and officials not for the love of the country, or to fight corruption and fear for the society, but rather for ‘bribery corruption?’
A message to all those who beat on empty drums, and those who carry pens with secret ink: we are fed up with what you write, and have grown tired by your beating. If you have facts, then take them to the land of justice and law, because there is no barrier to keep you from expressing love towards Kuwait and its people if you want to reform Kuwait. A final word: Those who damage our reputation are those who wished to be like you but have failed.
