Nigeria - Ex Rivers state governor and speaker Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, on Thursday was screen by the Nigerian senate for a ministerial position.
During the course of the screening, Amaechi was asked to define corruption in his own words. Here's what he said:
“Corruption is very difficult to define. If you are a public officer and you don’t take a bribe, I have never taken a bribe in my life but if they send a girl to you and you sleep with the girl and do her favour, you are corrupt.
“Corruption is a very wide concept. If people are contesting a position and you offer your son, brother or sister an opportunity to hold that position, probably the person is not qualified, you are corrupt. So, it is difficult for me to define corruption.”
