The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has disclosed that the Senate will pass the Whistle Blower Protection Bill by July, 2017.
Saraki stated this in Abuja on Monday, May 15, at the launch of “Antidotes for Corruption: The Nigerian Story, ” a book written by Senator Dino Melaye.
He said that when backed by legislation, whistle-blowing would have greater value “and it is hoped that we can pass it before July this year.”
He mentioned other anti-corruption legislation being considered by the Senate.
This includes the Proceeds of Crime Bill, the Special Anti-Corruption Court, which will be done through constitutional amendment and the Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Bill.
Saraki said that the executive and legislature must work hard to make it difficult for proceeds of corruption to find any hope.
