Any fight against corruption at present is going to be a losing battle without draconian measures being implemented.
There is just too high an established ratio of corrupt, influential people of wealth and in positions of power and authority compared with this tiny population.
These corrupt ones are found in the politics, the police system, the justice system and in the business sector.
The transfer of corrupt practices together with the official masterminds and smart men of corruption takes place from one administration to other at the end of every election.
If any real attempts were ever made to end the mode of corruption especially in government-operated departments this would have already been noticeable.
The control of accountability and transparency is deliberately left intact with established rules of excuses to be made when anyone is caught out for any wrongdoings.
It is a sort of unspoken mafia arrangement between the wealthy crooks in our society.
Corruption is so embedded in our society that even if outside experts were called in to try to end it they would have little chance of success.
A good example of this is the failed attempt by Mr Gibbs and his deputy to try to penetrate the corrupt affairs of our police system.
This attempt was put to end with the help of corrupt politicians' support.
We shall continue to hear and read of much more corruption from week to week, committed by those in authority and power, but who will never spend a day behind bars because of the turning of a blind eye by a corrupt judiciary.
There are not enough honest, rich citizens here who may be willing to throw down the gauntlet and use draconian measures and face the army of corrupt citizens that exists.
The ordinary citizens are too racially divided in order to form a united front to demonstrate and take the necessary action against the well-established masterminds of corruption.
Despite all the promises made in the past and still being made today by politicians and other people of status, to end corruption, things will still be the same in five years' time, unless action is taken to halt this evil practice.
These greedy masterminds and smart men of corruption, who could best be described as financial prostitutes with their mafia-style mentality, are not going to cut off their noses to spoil their faces.
Someone has to start taking the necessary draconian actions to halt the expansion and to reverse the acceptance of corruption on this island.
