Laying this particular Motion on the Floor of the House is timely in the sense that, as a country, we have come to the realisation that corruption is destroying this country. Indeed, and many of us agree that the issue of corruption is not a matter to be tackled by way of harsh punishment. It is a matter of values, principles, training and upbringing. That is why we must put our efforts towards this particular aspect. From the outset, I think it is important to train our small children and teachers who teach young boys and girls that you can still make it in life without seeking to use corrupt means. In as much as we could have enhanced punishment and harsh laws and impose high sanctions on people caught committing acts of corruption, unless we address the core root of corruption in this country, we will not move anywhere.

We sincerely hope that the international academy will partner with the institution that is established and the Ministry The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
