*THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION: MONKEY DEY WORK, BABOON DEY TALK*

The National Assembly is working hard to fight corruption. Though, if you read those broadcasts that are full of bulls**t — some paid Whatsapp pundits have been lying and saying that the legislators are the real reason why Buhari’s governments fictional war against corruption is highly *selective*, totally *political*, extremely *ineffective* and of course, ENTIRELY *non-existent.*

Blame is easy. Taking charge and fixing your f***ups is the hard part. Yes, Nigeria has a corruption problem. And yes, this administration, pledged, swore, pleaded and begged us to vote them into power. They said that they would fix corruption — now, they are blaming the National Assembly? Total BULLS**T!

*Let’s analyze this critically. You be the judge of who is really fighting corruption:*

Q: The Presidency’s pundits say that the National Assembly is yet to pass the *Whistleblower Protection Bill*. Is this true?

A: No. On July 19th, 2017, the Senate passed the *Whistleblower Protection* Bill sponsored by Senator Biodun Olujimi. This Bill will encourage the disclosure of bad conduct by public officers, by protecting Whistleblowers from injury, death, economic sabotage, job termination, etc.


Q: What about the *Anti-Money Laundering Act?*

A: The Buhari government withdrew the Bill with their own hand o! After an intensive examination of the *Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Bill (2016)*, the EFCC, yes, Magu’s EFCC, asked the National Assembly to dump the bill. If you do not believe it, read it here: http:///2FpLY7z.

Q: Okay, now, what happened to the Witness Protection Bill that will provide more safety for people that testify in corruption cases? Has the National Assembly done anything about it?

A: Yes o! The Senate has passed the *Witness Protection Bill* sponsored by the late Senator Isiaka Adeleke, which creates a programme in Nigeria that protects witnesses who provide vital information, evidence or render assistance to law enforcement agencies during investigations, enquiries or prosecutions.

Q: How about the other anti-corruption Bill they call *Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Bill*? Where is it now?

A: Okay, the *Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Bill* is the only Executive Bill on Anti-Corruption that is currently in the pipeline. It was passed by the Senate on May 30th 2017. This Bill will enhancing the collaboration between Nigeria and other foreign countries on cases that have to do with corruption.

Q: What else is left? Are there any other anti-corruption bills that Buhari has sent to the National Assembly?

A: No! In fact, the Senate has already gone ahead and passed two other Bills that will help Nigeria fight this corruption nonsense.

Q: 2 Bills? What are they?

A: The first is the *Nigerian Financial Intelligence Agency (NFIA) Bill*, sponsored by Senator Chukwuka Utazi. This law will establish an independent financial intelligence unit in Nigeria, that will liaise with other nations on financial investigations like: money laundering, terrorism financing, proliferation of arms, corruption, financial crimes and economic crimes.

The other is the *Federal Audit Services Bill* that will give the Auditor-General of the Federation more independence to investigate and probe all the money that the Federal Government spends. Under this new law,*every single kobo* that is spent in Nigeria can and will be open for investigation. So there will be no place to hide for looters and their friends.

Q: Then why are people believing all this nonsense about the National Assembly not helping in the fight against corruption?

A: Because people do not read or research, and it is easy to blame the people that are working, instead of focusing on the work that is in front of you.
