The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Elrufai, has described
the Nigerian judiciary system as a “pathetic system” that sides more with the
crooks than the innocents.
Mr Elrufai said this during an interview on Sunrise Daily on
Channels TV on Wednesday.
He noted that the government of Kaduna State has not been
able to convict people that stole state funds because courts are making it
difficult to convict people.
“In Kaduna State, the corruption perception is much lower
than in other states. We have taken measures. We have made examples of people
in public service. We have sacked those that were found to be fiddling with
public funds.
“We are prosecuting them, we have not convicted anybody
because the judicial system is just pathetic—is too slow and in my view often
on the side of the crooks rather than one the side of the government or the
innocents,” he said.
He added that one of the biggest mistakes Nigeria made was
setting up the National Industrial Court. He cited instances where the court
freed people accused of corruption.
“One of the biggest mistakes the government made is creating
the NIC, which sees its duty as taking sides of the employees and not the employer.
It is not always the employer that is wrong,” he said.
Mr Elrufai also said the next government must remove
subsidies, or the country will go bankrupt like Sri Lanka.
