The height of corruption

The president of one of the poorest countries in the world Republic of Congo spent more than £1million on clothes he wore only once. Denis Sassou Nguesso shopped at Paris boutiques, paying with Money transferred from Swiss bank accounts. It is said that mr Nguesso changed shirts four times a day and used them as Kleenex tissues.

It baffles me how someone who knows the effects of poverty does nothing to improve the well being of his people. What is it with the seat of power that makes it impossible for most African leaders to contribute towards the development of their countries? What a waste of resources if the story is true.
