DR CONGO, A land of greased palms


In Congo, people can't get a job. In most countries around the world, someone with skills make him highly employable but not in the DR Congo. In Congo the war is a normal thing, the qualities of education are not good enough to get a decent job.
A driver of capital Kinshasa it's normally, but later I discovered to my embarrasment, a qualified chemical engineer. He doesn't get a job because he had not greased the right palms. Recently published study explain the anecdotes to roots of corruption.

Vocabulary: Palms: palmell de la mà.
Land: Terra.
Roots: Arrels.
