Most of the people are not facing the problems or the situations they are in but, they keep trying to find away to blame others to avoid the actual problem. Proper planning and facing problems seriously seem to be viable solutions for all the problems. Accountability is also a must. No one ever seems to be held accountable or responsible for anything.
For the sake of example proper policing, with just an appropriate repercussions for everyone and anyone violating traffic laws would also seem quite logical, with no exceptions made. By exceptions of course I mean the Minister’s son or a friend of a friend of a police officer doesn’t get a traffic violation, but normal citizens do, for the same exact violation.
If all citizens know that there will be no exceptions, and they will be punished or get traffic violation when they violate the traffic law, for sure they will follow the law. Unfortunately, I found Egyptians enjoying violating the law. Instead of following the law and the regulation, they pay bribes and they rely on people they may know to avoid the violation. As a general rule, it is easier to follow the law, instead of looking for away to avoid punishment.
Finally, by violating law and paying bribes, we as citizens are encouraging corruption.

You are extremely right.
ReplyDeleteI am imagining what may happen if all Egyptian citizens read this Article and understood it fairly and also apply what you recommend. OH MY GOD, what a wonderful life that we will enjoy in Egypt.
May Allah send a fair government to Egypt to fight the corruption.
I KNOW THAT IT IS A DREAM
Thanks so much Yasmine, wish you best of luck,
You are absolutely right, corruption is one of the exceptions results.
ReplyDeleteYasmine,
ReplyDeleteABSENCE OF THE LAW is the major cause of breaking the laws.
Very simple, there is primarily no laws to be followed.
Anyone can do anything, anytime, anywhere and by anyway he wishes. Unfortunately sometimes law supports him.
This couldn't be done only in traffic, but also in every field in our life.
We as Egyptians enjoy violating the law and regulations.
