Corruption destroys a nation

“Corruption destroys a nation,” Mr. Awadi Masha and Ms. Christine Jada, both commissioners of the Anti-corruption commission of #SouthSudan have said.

Describing #Corruption manifested through abuse of power, embezzlement of funds, and sexual harassment, the two commissioners acknowledged that the level of reporting incidents of corruption to the commission has dropped significantly, over the past two years.
