A
Nigerian senator from Ondo state has called for the legalisation of
corruption in the country as he speaks during a plenary at the National
Assembly.
Speaking while making his contributing to the debate on the 2017
budget during the senate plenary on Wednesday, a senator from Ondo
state, Omoyele Omogunwa, called for the legalisation of corruption in
the country.
According to TheCable News, the lawmaker who spoke at the upper
legislative chamber, lamented that corruption was pervasive in the
country, argued that it should be “legalised”.
The senator said there was corruption in the judiciary, and even
within the anti-corruption agencies, adding that if corruption was
legalised, Nigerians who stole public funds would use them in building
factories and industries in the country, instead of having them stashed
away abroad.
He added that the performance of the 2016 budget should be examined first before that of 2017 is determined.
The official Twitter handle of the Senate also confirmed Omogunwa’s suggestion, writing: “Senator
Omogunwa notes that Budgets doesn’t have maximal impact due to
corruption. He says corruption shld be legalized/liberalized then.”
