Screen public officials before duty

It is disturbing that, in recent years, a growing number of political appointees have either fled the country after being charged with genocide or more so, been sent to jail on similar charges. Most recent, is Senator Stanley Safari’s case approaching its peak, he managed to sneak out of the country to avoid being held accountable for genocide related crimes of which he was found guilty of committing. While it may be too late to undo the damage of the previous cases, tighter measures should be put in place to filter any future political appointees before they take up positions of prestige or power. The vetting process should be as extensive as it can be right at the start before confirmation and commencement of the assigned public duty.
