Description

A frontline account of how to fight corruption, from Nigerias former finance minister Ngozi OkonjoIweala.In Fighting Corruption Is Dangerous, Ngozi OkonjoIweala has written a primer for those working to root out corruption and disrupt vested interests. Drawing on her experience as Nigerias finance minister and that of her team, she describes dangers, pitfalls, and successes in fighting corruption. She provides practical lessons learned and tells how anticorruption advocates need to equip themselves. OkonjoIweala details the numerous ways in which corruption can divert resources away from development, rewarding the unscrupulous and depriving poor people of services.OkonjoIweala discovered just how dangerous fighting corruption could be when her 83yearold mother was kidnapped in 2012 by forces who objected to some of the governments efforts at reforms led by OkonjoIwealain particular a crackdown on fraudulent claims for oil subsidy payments, a huge drain on the countrys finances. The kidnappers first demand was that OkonjoIweala resign from her position on live television and leave the country. OkonjoIweala did not resign, her mother escaped, and the program of economic reforms continued. Telling my story is risky, OkonjoIweala writes. But not telling it is also dangerous. Her book ultimately leaves us with hope, showing that victories are possible in the fight against corruption.
