    "content": "I challenge the clergy in the country to make corruption in churches, mosques and other sacred places a sin. They should teach their followers the effects of corruption. I believe corruption and stealing is the same thing. After all, corruption kills. That is why the Ministry of Education is closing schools which would probably have collapsed thus endangering the lives of pupils. But these schools were not built yesterday. They have been there and inspectors have even been visiting them. How come they did not see the danger during their visits? For a long time, they did not do anything. They had to wait for a disaster to happen for them to rush to do something. The country should start becoming proactive and not reactive. When we think about such tragedies, we feel we do not know exactly what to do. At the prosecution level in our courts and in investigations departments, right things must be done. When someone is alleged to be corrupt, unless that person is proven guilty, he cannot be charged. Unfortunately, when people go through a court process, the thing hits up and we have Friday arrests like what happened last year and this year. After some time, things go quiet and people begin to think that corruption cases go nowhere. We need to be serious from the three arms of the Government. The Legislature should make the right laws and the Judiciary should prosecute as required."
