Former INEC chairman Prof Jega on corruption of legislators transcript.
Regrettably, many of the chief executives that I have spoken with (and I know only a few), have terrible stories to tell, particularly about the issue of bribe giving and bribe taking which members of the national assembly pursue, so called, community work and oversight responsibilities. This is well-known, everybody talks about it, but nothing seems to be done about it.
And I wonder, what is happening to the intelligence and investigative responsibility of our security and policing agencies. Some Chairman of committees in the national assembly have become notorious on this issue of recklessly with impunity, demanding for bribes.
Back in the university system, I have heard so many stories from many Vice Chancellors about the horrors they go through on questions of budget and so-called oversight.
I am not saying that Chief Executives are saints. But all we are saying is that we must make it known today, that Nigerians and Public office holders should have basic common decency and integrity in the ways in which they discharge their responsibilities, because that is the only way we can make progress in this country.
