Former President of the United States,
George Bush, on Thursday told the
leadership of the country and its people
to fight corruption, saying it had
become the obvious challenge against its
development.



Bush, who is in Lagos as a guest speaker
at the Access Leadership Conference
2013, said corrupt people, no matter how
highly paced, should face the wrath of
the law.

The event, which was organised by Access
Bank Plc with the theme, 'Embracing
Sustainable Leadership, attracted world
leaders, including a former President of
Ghana, Mr. John Kufuor.

Bush, who commended the country for its
current democratic dispensation and
sustenance, said the US encouraged
governments that fight corruption by
giving them aids to support their
economies.

He noted that the criteria for receiving
aids had been tied to countries that
ensured that anti-corruption strategies
were in place.

Let's put our house in order

True talk, mr Bush! Not like Bill Clinton who will praise d govt, collect his speech money and head back to d US to spend it.
