Human Rights Lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) has berated
president Jonathan’s administration for encouraging corruption by being lenient
with his appointees accused of corrupt practices.
The lawyer said this during the launch of a book titled
“Corruption and Human Rights in Africa” authored by Kolawole Olaniyan in Lagos.
The lawyer said, “Jonathan administration has killed the
good works against corruption. It is only Abacha that has been harassed of all
those accused of corruption and it’s because he is no longer alive”
To buttress his point on president Jonathan’s attitude
towards corruption, he reminded the audience of the recruitment scandal
associated with the minister of interior, Mr. Abba Morro as well as the
allegation of corruption levied against the minister of Petroleum resources,
Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.
On insecurity, Falana decried how insurgency is being tacked
and the poor welfare for soldiers.
He said, “Boko Haram is being fought in a corrupt way. Al
dead soldiers’ names are unknown, immediately a soldier dies, his family is
ejected from the barracks within two weeks.
The human Rights Lawyer therefore maintained that bad leadership is the root of corruption.
