The Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has said that the National Assembly is working to strengthen the country’s anti-graft laws.
Omo-Agege said: “Talking about corruption, there has been an argument that we should make more laws and make punishments more stringent. “Our job at the National Assembly is to assist President Buhari in strengthening these institutions, knowing full well that he will not be here forever. The National Assembly is strengthening the anti-corruption laws including the EFCC, ICPC enabling acts among others.”
“Apart from providing enabling environment for the President to succeed, our major interest is to enhance the success of his anti-corruption agenda.“I agree that corruption has eaten deep into the fabric of governance in this country and some have come to a conclusion that it is a bigger pandemic than the Covid-19.
