A former Chairman of Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service Matters, Senator Aloysius Etok, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to introduce what he termed ‘self amnesty programme’ for looters of the nation’s treasury.
Etok, who represented Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District at the National Assembly from 2007 to 2015, said the idea is to enable those who looted the country’s funds from the different sectors to willingly return what is left of their loot.
The senator commended the efforts of President Buhari in tackling corruption.
He said as a senator he started the anti-graft war with pension fund managers that had looted the money meant for pensioners.
Explaining his idea of the self amnesty programme in Calabar, Etok said those who looted the nation’s treasury as being gradually revealed by the President Buhari-led administration should be allowed to bring back to government coffers what they have left.
He said
“Let us have self amnesty programme for those who looted the economy. If for instance you have stolen N6 and you have eaten N2, you should be allowed to return the N4 that is left. That should be the starting point.”

It's a good innovation but bad timing, more so , If it's ever going to work, nothing less than 98% of the stolen funds must be recoverable

Its not a good innovation, the timing will never be right. Amnesty for people that stole money meant for 160 million+ Nigerians?
They will have to first of all, give all the armed robbers that stole far less,amnesty before they propose amnesty for these heartless bunch of polithiefians..
They should try it and see, 2019 elections will shock them.

I agree with you ,

but Nigeria is broke , recovered funds may strengthen Nigeria's economy in the face of ever falling oil price

Auditors are handling the issue already. Wherever the funds are, they will be uncovered. Patience is key!

They must have their assis in jail.
