Abstract

The local public seems to be bombarded with stories about corruption. It seems that there are weekly front-page headlines boldly announcing that some former president of an African country had stolen billions of dollars and hidden them outside of their country.

This was the state of anti-corruption efforts in 2007. This arrogance and impunity had to be addressed by the international community.
