Madam President: Take Decisive Action Against Corrupt Vampires in Government

The road to defeating corruption which is labeled as a societal menace may seem too long and unsteady, but with collective courage and determination, we are convened the battle can be achieved. We are fully aware that corrupt vampires will put up strongly resistance but they can be defeated if decisive action is taking against these corrupt vampires.

Madam President, corruption is not a new phenomenon to the nation and its people, it has been eating up every sphere of our nation for 167 years now, this systemic pandemic which you once described as public enemy number one and Vampire is negatively impacting your administration despite of numerous gains both domestically and internationally.

The effect of corruption in our country is more devastating than cancer and other deadly sicknesses. The fight against this virulent social disorder did not just begin today, but long before its colossal maturity. The issue of legacy of public ill-transparency and dishonesty needs to be routed from the system by instituting decisive action across your administration without fear or favor.

Madam President, please be reminded that when political vultures and economic vampires embezzle and misuse state resources, they are not made to account for these resources simply because of their high-ranking statuses or connections with influential people in your administration; this is one of the major reasons while these vampires continue to drink public resources. While the culture of impunity has been a contributing factor to the sharp increment in vampirism and a huge number of new corruption cases.

It is an obvious that cases of corruption with sufficient proofs are compromised as a result of strong political connection and ties or bribery since courts and judges are vulnerable to bribes and all forms of inducement despite of the huge monthly salary and other benefits to go with their respective portfolios.

The another factor that greatly impeding the fight against corrupt vampires is the issues of selectivism when indictees of corruption are made known and being persecuted, while we want to again remind you Madam president that enough effort not being made by this regime to vigorously tackle the issue of corruption.

Some of judges and law enforcement personnel especially court officers and police are money-driven and integrity-drained. As a result of this, corrupt vampirism practices become ‘not guilty’ even though there are available facts to prove otherwise.

The weak and corrupt legal system of our country is providing a fertile ground for corruption and if rapid interventions are not made to overhaul our judiciary sector, corruption will forever remain a major enemy to reckon with. While the lack of political will has been a major challenge to our current warfare against corruption. If we truly intend to promote a society of integrity and honesty, we must begin to impartially prosecute all corrupt officials of government who are instigating this act.

Corruption cannot be fought or dealt with through rhetoric-with judges and law enforcement personnel being opened to bribery to compromise cases. The fight against corruption must come along with sincerity, commitment and loyalty. This unethical practice has grown even larger to an extent it is not only hampering development but it is also hunting men and women of honesty and integrity who have made it their lifetime duty to blow loud whistles against it.

Our nation can never win this fight through unfilled words but through concrete actions. There is multiplicity of genuine corruption cases lingering without prosecution as corrupt vampires move about freely.
