One sentence in what all he said is noteworthy: He said, "see, money for anybody who are coming to power, behind the leadership or behind the political force, many people will come to help you." People will come and congratulate you on the victory of good governance, then tell you "Please do not take it otherwise. I know you are not like other politicians who in fact ask for money. You are clean. But now that you are in a position of power, many people who genuinely need help will approach you. Please accept this packet just to help out those people. People who approach me for help, come to me because I am rich and I do not have the time and machinery to verify their request. But only genuine people will come to you because you are a genuine person." When you accept the first packet and how exhilarating it is to help so many people, you will continue with bigger and bigger packets and it goes on and on till you also become corrupt. You can, of course, be less corrupt. But you cannot simply be non-corrupt. Corruption does not mean only accepting money. Any help you extend to anyone out of the way just because you feel it was deserved, makes you corrupt.
