The Errand of the Errant

By: Ekeregbe, Merit Prince

The government's primary responsibility is to ensure the populace's social welfare. It includes justice, security, and minimal comfortable means of livelihood for the citizenry. Justice can only be implemented by officers of State who know the law of the land and have a good conscience. Good conscience carries the unwritten law; all men have an equal dose of it. Leaders do not take oath with the Constitution but with the Holy Writs because they are closer to the conscience than the law of the land. But when the crop of leaders are men who have lost their consciences, the followers are brought under excruciating pain.
Officer Musuni Ukuni is a rare breed, and as if the devil in power hates justice, such never lasts in a position of authority. Every action of democratic tyrants and uncivilized Officers of the State brings home more hardship and makes this Earth unhabitable to the oppressed. Rimi is a fine Elder with a good conscience and chooses to die for the good of the poor while the oppressor and his foot soldiers ride roughshod on the populace. The irony of life is to see the oppressed become the oppressor. Or how else will you understand the drastic change of minority Narto, who has suddenly had a responsibility to minimize the damage of the government where he serves because he was paid to do so without good conscience? When men who love perks or patronage more than good names are in positions of power, you are better off in the company of a robber than such a man.
