No democracy can flourish where corruption becomes normalised — Ibn Chambas
Former African Union High Representative for Silencing the Guns, Dr Mohamed Ibn Chambas, has warned that no democracy can thrive where corruption becomes normalised, stressing that the fight against graft must begin with ethical education from childhood rather than relying solely on law enforcement.
Dr Chambas maintained that while effective law enforcement remains essential in tackling corruption, it is insufficient on its own to eradicate the problem.
According to him, corruption pollutes lakes, rivers and other water bodies, degrades forests, weakens public institutions, discourages investment, widens inequality and erodes citizens' confidence in government.
