The Kano state house of assembly speaker, Alhaji Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, has urged the national assembly to enact laws to protect whistle blowers about corruption cases.
He said this on Tuesday, October 27 at the opening ceremony of the sixth National Workshop on Transparency and Accountability for members of State Assembly from the north-west zone of the country by Anti-Corruption Academy of Nigeria (ACAN).
The Speaker said the National Assembly should do more to strengthen the war against corruption to ensure citizens’ protection especially when they are prepared to offer information and testify against people who abuse public trust and engaged in activities that undermined the economy of the country.
He said members of the state legislators participating in the workshop would act as change agents at their various communities to ensure that the crusade against corruption yield the desired results for the good of the people.
In a related development, a Rivers-based lawyer, Abdulkareem Dauda, has said that convicted corrupt government officials and others deserve death penalty.
Meanwhile, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stated no country can survive with the level of corruption Nigeria has experienced.
