Clarke Advocates Effective System In Corruption War

A legal practitioner, Mr Robert Clarke, on Tuesday advocated for
an effective system in the fight against corruption, which the
President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has embarked upon.

He, stressed the need for a free corruption system while
prosecuting those perceived as being corrupt.

Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, he
stated, “No matter how you try corrupt officials, no matter how you
try public officers, no matter how you try politicians, if the
system is basically corrupt, it is wasted.”

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria is of the view that the released
list of alleged looters by the Federal Government shows its
commitment to flushing the nation of sharp practices.

Among prominent Nigerians that have questioned the list is the
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, who described it as
politically motivated.

“The first list of alleged looters released by the government is
politically motivated and the second one is an afterthought that
was done because Nigerians questioned the first list,” he said on
Monday.

But Clarke feels that the indicted Nigerians whose names
appeared on the list ought to have been invited for questioning
over the respective roles they play in allegedly embezzling the
nation’s resources.

He added, “None of them has been called to question or say
something about this amount.”

“So whether you say alleged or not, they have been confronted.
Some of them admitted those who could refund did and those who
could not refund have been charged to court.”
