Editor,I am very much impressed by the article titled "The Phenomenal effect of Power on African Presidents” by Diana Mpyisi. You have captured almost the truth of the whole affair; however, many of these leaders remain in power to safeguard themselves from economic crimes, human rights violations etc committed during their time in office.

So, choosing a family or relative as many ex-presidents have done is to evade the long arms of the law and conviction for past crimes.Henry ShengeSweden
