also
as
departure
from
the
earlier
system
of
political
patronage
where
local
leadership
was
co-‐opted
into
support
for
the
central
power
and
amply
compensated
by
direct
transfers
of
funds,

after
the
revolution,
the
percentage
of
corruption
has
increased.
There
is
no
clear
vision
as
to
what
should
be
done
to
address
the
corruption.
The
current
system
appearantly
restricts
the
accountability
of
officials.
Whereas
prosecuting

high-‐ranking

out
in
