Today the linkages between scientific research and policy-making is far apart because most policy makers in control of political power finds it difficult to promote scientific innovations possibly because of investment required. If scientist are totally in control of the political structure can we say the world will be better?.
Leadership is built on character, culture, communication, charisma and is strongly entrenched in continuous observation and experimentation. Since leadership is intended to empower people to accomplish their goals, positive political leaders will enhance this condition you aspire in your question. This qualification can suit a scientist and so many others who are ready by virtue of self-commitment to use political power to champion development. Political power monopoly by scientists will not guarantee a better world without visionary leadership.

Thank you for your well structured answer. It is possible to be a successful scientist and not be a good political leader from your additions.
It will be nice if the whole sectors are carried along both scientists and other professionals in profering solutions to societal issues.Governments should make use of research discoveries.
