Make graft laws – Juju

EFF leader Julius Malema is in Rwanda to attend the fifth Pan-African Parliament with the South African delegation.

He was interviewed yesterday on the sidelines of the gathering about the challenges facing the continent, including corruption and how to support economic growth.

He expressed his support for a judicial body that would act against corruption in Africa because that would send the message that corruption doesn’t pay.

“We need to ensure we come up with one binding legislature for all African countries to ensure that they comply with anti-corruption programmes.

“Many corrupt individuals go unpunished.” He blamed corruption for being at the core of African underdevelopment.

Although Malema was supportive of free trade agreements in Africa, he said it was understandable that countries would be wary of implementing such reforms. Some countries might attempt to abuse such freedom to fraudulently market products from outside Africa, particularly from China, as those they had produced themselves.
