Corruption is rife in our very own society, education institutions, public and government organisations, almost in every works of life here in Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
This is according to Chancellor of Goroka University, Joseph Sukwaianomb.
“Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea is no different in many ways and the norm to corruption is the same,” he said whilst in Honiara for UOG open campus graduation recently.
He said the need to immediately fight corruption on urgent attention needs to be seriously looked into by both countries.
Proper management have been lacked or many times overlooked and this needs to be dealt with, said Sukwaianomb.
The Chancellor said it’s important that this issue be foremost to be considered in order to have a better living country.
He urges the teacher graduates then that they have a role to play with much guts to weed out corruption within their respective schools.
“It starts with you,” he urged.
“It may seem too big, but the essence here is to be practical on being fair and honest, transparent within your means of work at a smaller pace.
“Only then you can make a difference and contribute to a bigger picture; that eventually shows your small step to fight corruption and being that role model to others.”
Chancellor Sukwaianomb said we have confident that you be that role model and start begin to fight corruption at wherever respective school you are stationed.
