Sagay expressed his reservations about young people vying for political office.
According to him, most politicians are greedy and very corrupt and that the younger the politician is, the more corrupt he turns out to be
“One common thread that runs through the attitude of recent politicians borders on greed, avarice, self-service, and accumulation of wealth at the expense of the country. Why the rush? A young politician who wants to run at 25 will still become 30, it is just a matter of five years. Why can’t they wait to run? Most politicians are just consumed by greed and the younger they get, the corrupt they become,” he said
