Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission nominee for chairman David Oginde has vowed to act tough on religious institutions engaging in money laundering and other forms of corruption.

Appearing before the Parliament's Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) for vetting yesterday, Bishop Oginde said should he be approved by the National Assembly, he would ensure zero graft-tolerance across the board. "Corruption is corruption regardless of where it happens. If it is proven that something fishy is going on in churches, mosques and even private institutions, then it will be dealt with," he said.
