Fighting corruption

THE fight against corruption continues with men of integrity having had to pay a heavy price. The discovery of the remains of the late DPP Anthony Kevin Morais who served in the Appellate and Trial Division of the Attorney General’s Office has brought home the reality of what it takes to eradicate this menace.

Two years ago, another senior government officer attached to the Customs Department was fatally shot on his way to work by hired killers, almost similar to the most recent incident. Both cases appear to relate to underlying issues of standing up to corruption.
