“If You Are Genuinely Fighting Corruption, You Must Put In Place Mechanisms And Measure To Discourage People From Embracing The Act” Falana Tells Buhari
 |
| Femi Falana |
The revered Nigerian lawyer said this during a lecture at the Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin, over the weekend.
Speaking on “University Autonomy in Nigeria: Prospects and Challenges,” Falana condemned the federal government and the Attorney General’s attitude to herdsmen’s killings in the country.
He said, “If you are genuinely fighting corruption, you must put in place mechanisms and measure to discourage people from embracing the act.
“There is no way that you pay people starvation wages, or make it impossible for them to receive their pensions and gratuities when they retire, and expect that they will not engage in corrupt practices,” he added.
The senior lawyer also said that under such setting, if the person has access to government funds, he might be tempted to steal.”
But he said since 1999, the Buhari government had fought corruption more than previous regimes.
