Panel calls for review of corruption laws

Speaking during a panel discussion last Friday, First National Bank (FNB) branch manager, Lucky Bogopa said voting for parliamentary candidates should not mean an automatic vote for the president.  That will be tantamount to imposing a president on the people as his election was not decided by the majority, said Bogopa.  Bogopa observed that poverty is one of the reasons why corruption is on the rise.

He said poor political leadership is also a challenge and wondered how voters elect into office politicians who cannot take them anywhere. He said the same thing applies even in the private sector.
