Corruption as we know it is indeed a universal problem that we all need to tackle with vigour and relentless efforts.
Frankly it shouldn’t require a Pastor from the US to inform us. We also have to be conscious of not making it a partisan/political issue. It cuts across all groups and communities of the Society.
Thanks for sharing.
And congratulations Bernard for a well deserved award. I am confident this will indeed spur you on to greater heights.
All the best. Cheers!?
