Buhari Pampering Corrupt Politicians – Tunji Braithwaite by Descartes: 4:39am On Nov 29, 2015 |
Elder statesman, Dr. Tunji Braithwaite, says President Muhammadu Buhari is pampering corrupt government officials in the immediate past government by recovering looted funds from them without prosecuting them. President Buhari had, during his recent visit to Iran, said that many of those who stole public funds in the past government had started returning the funds. He, however, did not mention the names of the looters. But Braithwaite said that allowing the corrupt government officials to return stolen funds without being tried was a bigger crime than the act of stealing the funds. The human rights lawyer, who spoke with our correspondent in an interview on Thursday, said the President was promoting impunity by recovering looted funds through plea bargaining rather than keeping to his promise of ensuring total justice. He said, “It is a crime against the state for anybody to steal public funds. Returning stolen funds quietly without being sanctioned is even worse than the crime of stealing the money . This is morally reprehensible and it can never serve as a deterrent to other corrupt politicians who might want to steal public resources. “Buhari is pampering those corrupt leaders by just obtaining looted funds and not jailing them. With all the bragging and the promises he made during the campaign, we expected that his war against corruption will be rootless. These public thieves carted away our national assets and in the process, impoverished many Nigerians. Corruption is also responsible for the infrastructural decay we are experiencing. The roads are bad and many Nigerian youths cannot find jobs.” While advising the President to be more determined in wiping out corruption, Braithwaite said it was possible to recover stolen funds and still prosecute the corrupt public officials. He, therefore, advised the President to name those returning the looted funds and prosecute them accordingly. He added, “I think it is morally reprehensible for any government to let those returning stolen funds to go scot-free. Buhari must mention their names and stop pampering them. Corruption has robbed us of valuable infrastructure and the opportunity to develop as a country. “I once had a similar case and the criminals were convicted while the stolen funds were traced and recovered. So it is possible to recover stolen funds and prosecute those involved. He should prosecute the thieves, trace the stolen funds and enforce restitution of the public resources. Not mentioning their names is tantamount to pampering them.” www.punchng.com/buhari-pampering-corrupt-politicians-braithwaite/ 20 Likes 2 Shares |

the only person that Buhari was man enough to arrest and hold for more than 3 weeks is Nnamdi KANU .... every other corrupt politicians that he claim created the mess he is cleaning are free spending their Ill gotten wealth , flying in and out of Nigeria. He said he is cleaning mess, why not arrests those that created the mess. Or maybe he has no will to fight kworuption ,all are campaign promises. PDP messed up Nigeria for the past 16years then bring them to book rather making noise of mess mess all the time. my guess , he can't cs 70% of APC members now caused 60% of that 16year mess by PDP. This is a sorting Administration, where you sort via the back Door and the president will allow to go . no trial, no media to see when the money is been returned , no finance minister or Efcc chair man to keep record, and no Daura DSS . just Sort and your sins will never see the light of the Day, 79 Likes 5 Shares |

Braithwaite please wait for the appointed time as their prosecution charges are undergoing press up in PMB's memo. And don't forget to caution the wailing wailers not to start weeping all over the places shouting Witch hunting, political persecution, selective justice and dictatorship when the jungle has mature. 10 Likes 4 Shares |

Minister of Finance denied knowledge of returned funds CBN also denied receiving any recovered funds Obviously Buhari has not received any recovered loot But more importantly, Plea bargaining under current circumstances is the height of corruption. What are our laws for if a thief can return part of his loot and walk away. Criminals should and must be prosecuted .... that is the rule of law. Buhari confirmed he is the lord of impunity by openely declaring that he has been negotiating with thiefs and receiving part of their loots in exchange for freedom. As a matter of fact, assuming returned loot is true ... then the secrecy surrounding it is also corruption. All Abacha's loot that have been recovered were made public but a dead man can't be prosecuted Buhari will probably be looting the loot of his life as we get distracted by his planned propaganda. Buhari is a criminal like Amaechi, Tinubu, Saraki, Atiku, Obasanjo. .... it takes stupidity to think he is different. 69 Likes 7 Shares |

do we have facilities to try everyone of them to logical conclusion in good time? you charge them to court then lawyers begin there technicalities, na there the case will be until he finishes his tenure, so if they can return money for us to run govt, fine. another govt can come prosecute further since refund confirms indictment 2 Likes |
