Nigeria: TI Wants Corrupt Multi-National Firms Sanctioned

Chairman of Transparency International (TI), Mr. Peter Eigen, has recommended that multi-national companies involved in bribing government officials and decision-makers to influence business transactions should be blacklisted and prosecuted. Speaking when he was received at the State House by the Senior Special Assistant to the President and Head of Budget Monitoring and Price Intelligence Unit (BMPIU), Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, Eigen noted that such actions could become "some real important sanctions" that could deter corruption, especially in developing countries.
