Osinbanjo Speaks Out On The Punishment For Corrupt People by teeebugs: 4:18pm On May 02, 2015 |
Vice President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on Friday reiterated that the incoming administration of Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) would not condone corrupt practices adding that the administration will ensure consequences for anyone engage in sleaze. Delivering a keynote address at “Platform Abuja”, organised by Covenant Christian Centre and themed: “Business and Governance,” Osinbajo described corruption as a killer-disease which needed to be jointly defeated in the same way the dreaded Ebola Virus was taken care of. Noting that there was a real connection between corruption and the dire situation the country has found itself, he said: “It’s also important that people are made to understand that there would be consequences for corruption because what we’ve seen so far is that there’s hardly any consequence and so people simply get away with corrupt acts.” He said the incoming administration would make efforts to fix the criminal justice system to allow for speedier dispensation of justice, stressing that reforming the criminal justice system would require that there are consequence for every act of corruption. Osinbajo said: “If you get away with it (corruption) often enough, it sends a message to everyone that there’s no problem. And so, we need to fix that whole thinking. There has to be a penalty for corruption. People must be able to explain their source of wealth; a public servant ought to be able to explain how he is able to own fifty houses as a public servant. Somebody has to ask those questions and people have to be able to provide explanations.” Read full story http://monitor9ja.com/2015/05/osinbanjos-speaks-on-the-punishment-for-corrupt-people/ |
