Omoyele Omogunwa, a senator from Ondo state, has called for the
legalisation of corruption in the country.
Speaking on the floor of the upper legislative chamber on
Wednesday, Omogunwa lamented that corruption was pervasive in the country. He
argued that it should be “legalised”.
He said
there was corruption in the judiciary, and even within the
anti-corruption agencies.
He said 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.
Omogunwa said this while making his contributing to the debate on
the 2017 budget.
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 suuggestion, writing: “Senator Omogunwa notes that Budgets doesn’t
have maximal impact due to corruption. He says corruption shld be
legalized/liberalized then.
