When something obvious is not being done a long time (and still not being done, no matter number of times its being raised yesterday, today and tomorrow), it can mean only one thing.....powerful people (import cartels, oligarchs and their higher up contacts) want it that way due to gravy train trough directed their way in the "status quo"....and simply put there is not enough "lower" pressure accumulated to snap the BS.
It is often said "breakfast is most important meal of the day"....because its first one you have after waking up to new day (literally breaking your fast during sleep).
With developing country, the equivalent of this breakfast meal (or at the very least the concept of its intake being important to rest of the day and life in general) is the (civilian, day to day concerned) institutions it set up early on or developed further wisely from what it inherited (after independence/waking up....colonisation era being the equivalent to sleep) to deal with the course of its new day (destiny and future).
It is so very important (for developing country and any country that has started new chapter) because simply put 99% of people in developing country are focused on getting by day to day given the mass relative poverty, so they just dont have the resources available to wage the incisive pressure against the elite crust. Thus it was really the responsiblity of the best of the elite crust, the most enlightened of them to set up the foundations the best (with process for continued renewal and self-correction and improvement over time)
If it doesn't happen for whatever reason, you get a country/society very much like a guy who skipped breakfast and still looking for lunch....gaunt, wasting, looking for easy blame game..for its higher intellect went for fickle easy game (for whatever reason, but generally a psyche related one) rather than hard (but far more rewarding for its body) long game.
Dunno if you have come across "Rush"....but they have a great song "Closer to the heart" that encapsulates this quite well. "
and the men who hold high places.... must be the ones who start....to mold a new reality.....closer to the heart"...and so on it goes in that vein.
Really if you think about it, countries and societies really are the sum total result of what their most enlightened people in history in their windows of power did (striking the offered hot iron or wisely missing the cold iron...and at what frequency this was all done)....and how it has accumulated downstream to this day given the less-enlightened people are about the same more or less everywhere you go.
