“To the best of my understanding, there is no way the fight against corruption can be won in any sane society without the effective roles of the media and the judiciary. The judiciary must ensure that suspects in corruption cases are properly prosecuted without giving room for corruption to pile up by way of receiving bribes from suspects.
“The media, on the other hand, must keep a close tab on proceedings in corruption cases and ensure they are well-
reported and sustain the monitoring of the cases. By doing these, I believe the battle against corruption would be won gradually and eventually totally,” He said.
