In African countries like Zimbabwe where corruption exists,
the power has been converted to tyranny. Information deficit is fairly common.
People do not have freedom of expression. Mass media like newspapers,
television and radios cannot exercise this freedom thus not being able to
function as the watchdog of the public. Investigative journalism almost does
not exist. The government is also the largest employer in these countries. They
seize the opportunities to buy state properties at low prices. When the economy
grows, it opens more chances for the government to get kickbacks such as in
building projects that are poorly supervised.
