Fight against corruption critical for Africa’s sustainable development, says ECA’s Songwe
Corruption has held Africa back for far too long and it’s time to nip the scourge in the bud, says Ms. Vera Songwe, the Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). In a robust inaugural address to the 32 Ordinary Session of the African Union Executive Council, Ms. Songwe said Africa’s economic potential can be unlocked by ending the cancer of corruption. The AU summit will be held under the theme: “Winning the Fight against Corruption: A Sustainable Path to Africa’s Transformation.” The ECA Chief said the only logical and winning formula for true independence and for a transformed Africa was that the continent collectively conquered corruption.
