There are those in the incumbent party , one of many which saw to the liberation of   the country that  were unable , unlike others involved, to liberate themselves.  Liberation tasted of a power which they were not going to share with anyone else . So instead of liberation they remained captured  by their own greed  and endeavoured to  sustain their position by undemocratic means -corruption being just one. It's utter hypocrisy  to state that you have liberated others when you yourself remain captured.
