Bad Leadership and Corruption in Developing Countries

[Atubiga]

It is a known fact that Developing countries are poor because of bad leadership and corruption. The question I ask myself is that,is it that people in Developing Countries don't know how to pick good leaders or Is it that the good leaders they pick don't do as they promise. My other question is that, is it good for Developed countries like the United States to interfere in the choosing of leaders in Developing Countries? In other words, wouldn't it be good for Developed countries to pick leaders for Developing Countries? In my Opinion, If Developed Countries help in picking good Leaders from the developing countries and train these leaders how to rule their people, I think this would go a long way in helping developing countries rather than pumping billions of dollars into these countries with no better results. What do you think?

It is not as if the people in developing countries don't know what is happening around them or what will result as a matter of their "actions" and "inactions". Let us take some of the heads of states for example. Some of them had very good intentions for their countries and they stated those intentions very clearly in their campaign speeches but once they got to power, they refused to recognize what is happening around them. They become blinded by power and tend to abuse the same people who put them there. The "I don't care" attitude comes in once they get to power. President "X" and "Y" did not do it so I (president "Y") am not going to be the first to do it. Unlike in Western countries where Presidents and people in high offices are often criticized, those leaders in developing countries often turn dictators and tend to punish those who criticize them. Take Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe for example.

The problem here is that, the people are aware of the problems around them and they tend to pick leaders who they the people believe will help solve those problems but at the end of the day the problems worsen because almost all the leaders they pick turn into something else once they get to power. In other words, the people use the little opportunity they get to "vote" and pick good leaders but these good leaders turn into something else once they get to power. Not just one leader or two but almost all the leaders they pick so at the end of the day, the problems worsen. In this sense, I think It would be a good idea for Developed countries like the United States to interfere in picking right leaders for developing countries instead of sending billions of dollars into these countries which most of times don't yield results because the Aids most of the times don't do what they are supposed to be doing for the very poor people whom the aids were meant for
