RE: David Cameron calls Nigeria 'fantastically corrupt', We don't need any moral lesson from Britain

"The UK is currently home to tons of laundered funds from all over the world. David Cameron's statement is incomplete. If there is no receiver, there would be no giver of 'fantastically corrupt' funds. It takes two to tango."

Transparency International responds to Cameron comments regarding Nigeria, Afghanistan and UK Summit

Responding to the recent comments by David Cameron, Cobus de Swardt, Managing Director of Transparency International said:

“There is no doubt that historically, Nigeria and Afghanistan have had very high levels of corruption, and that continues to this day.

But the leaders of those countries have sent strong signals that they want things to change, and the London Anti-Corruption Summit creates an opportunity for all the countries present to sign up to a new era.
