The literacy of people on the principle of democracy has turned out timely and definitely coincidental with the emergency of social media. The beauty about social media is that there is little or no regulation in most developing states hence gives citizens a voice they never had.
Several political groups are currently in existence comprising of members numbering in their myriads. Interesting debates are almost ongoing week-in and week-out. They react to breaking news in an instance, however only a handful are reasonable while the rest have found a boundless platform to outperform others in stupidity.
That’s not the worry, sadness is about what happens to those handful people who can outline sense. They may not be the first in history to point out loopholes in state affairs, they simply join a band wagon of protesters and critics but how often are their cries taken into consideration? Do those in public office have time to read those thoughts on the media?
People have found a voice through media but who really takes them into consideration? Only a few are answered especially those that are deemed libelous to the state.
The few sensible ones keeps washed away by new updates and ideas vanish meanwhile the chain continues. Now a perfect voice does not lie in demonstrations, parading and social network complaints. These acts are a scratch, like a bullet that is shot at an animal to make it run faster.
A perfect voice is never spoken, it just commands silently and everyone hears it. For example, the wealthy determine what the fuel price on the world market would be either to adjust or slump the price and each country abides in no protest.
Having exemplary wealth is one such voice. Take for instance one makes a car assembly plant and employs more people than all primary school teachers combined, he has that powerful voice that government can easily succumb to, his voice is not meant for petty cries like fire tenders and does not beg for freedom of expression like many do.
He may control what government ought to decide and may change government decision in a blink of an eye. For example when Chikwanda introduced taxes to charge mining firms exporting dust, the mines decided to withdraw. The minister in no time revoked the articles. The fear was that thousands may lose jobs, then a newly elected government may be declared a failure already by a population infiltrated by the jobless.
But of course scribes will mourn that not everyone can afford wealth but that’s reality taking nothing from the blabbering. Only money makes government submit and not petty cries. Wealth is indeed a perfect voice.
