He said, “If the governments and
legislators are truly sincere about the fight against corruption in the
country, they must go tougher. Any public official, whether at the state
or federal level, should be executed. Killing them after confirmation
of any embezzlement allegation of more than N1m will lead us to the
right path.
“I sincerely recommend an active process
of legislation that would support that. It would also serve the nation
well to have a law which not only provides for every public office
holder to declare his assets on assuming office, but also stipulate that
he must repeat the exercise each subsequent year that he is in office
and not later than one month after vacating the office. Such declaration
should be in at least three newspapers and not just to the Code of
Conduct Bureau.”
The President of the TUC, Bobboi
Kaigama, said this during the fourth lecture series of the Faculty of
Environmental Design and Management, Obafemi Awolowo University,
Ile-Ife, on Tuesday.
While speaking on the theme, ‘Corruption
and challenges in nation-building’, Kaigama noted that Nigeria needed
to go tougher in its war against corruption.He also said that corrupt leaders should be banned from occupying public office.
