He said that progeny of the industrialists and landlords were born leaders who were all set to inherit the mantle of leadership of this unfortunate country. He said that the root of all problems currently plaguing the country was the corrupt electoral system which was instrument into production of such corrupt political elite to the detriment of collective interests of the people.
