It’s been a tough one and we are going to increase the tempo in the fight against corruption this year. This time, we are fighting hard like never before. “We cannot fight corruption alone and we need the individual effort of journalists or judicial correspondents also. “Journalists must join us in the fight and desist from collecting brown envelopes. “I want to thank you all for supporting what we are doing and urge you all to continue the good work,” he said.
