Special Court For Corruption Cases Will Boost Buhari’s Image-Group

The Global Centre For Conscious Living Against Corruption on Thursday has said that setting up a special court to try corruption cases would boost the image of the present administration.

 The group which expressed support over President Muhammadu Buhari’s action in sending the bill for the establishment of such court to the National Assembly, urged the lawmakers to expedite action on the bill.

The group’s Director-General, Dr. Nwambu Gabriel,  at a press conference in Abuja said  such  court if created t will hasten the trials of those charged with corruption.

Nwanbu also suggested that a law be put in place to stop any politician undergoing trial for corruption-related cases from contesting any election until the cases have been concluded.

He said, “We salute President Muhammadu Buhari for presenting a bill asking for the creation of special court that would handle corruption cases in the land.

“For instance, we believe that the many fraud cases filed against politicians would not have taken this long if we have a special court specifically created to handle corruption cases.

“We urge the Senate to give an accelerated passage to the bill to boost the anti-corruption agenda of Mr President.

“We advocate that in future, no politician standing trial of such crime should be cleared to contest election into any public office.

“Although the 1999 constitution presumes a suspect to be innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction, we are however worried over the long period of time some of these cases take in our court.”
