Our leaders are not in a hurry to fight this corruption – Rev. Onuoha

Respected cleric and Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Okigwe South, Rt. Rev. David Onuoha, has expressed great concern over what he had termed serious corruption threat to the nation’s cooperate existence.

The cleric said this in his address at the second session of the seventh synod of the diocese held at Saint Matthew’s Church, Umuezeala Nsu, Ehime Mbano local council area of Imo State.

“It is no longer news that our country sets a new record on this every year and all efforts at reducing the cases of this national embarrassment succeeded only in the breach”, the bishop lamented.

“The issue is not these mind-boggling annual revelations. What should disturb us as a nation are the denials, the rebuttals and deliberate refusal to acknowledge an obvious fact”, Onuoha said.

Continuing, the fiery Anglican cleric said, “What this clearly shows is that this nation and her leaders are not in a hurry to fight this malaise. That we are in a society where funds meant for projects and services that will benefit all and make for national growth are brazenly stolen by a privileged few, yet people from the same society appear to quarrel with the view that there is massive corruption in the system, calls for a great concern”.
