He decried the financial recklessness and lack of transparency in the Ministry, and called for five of the nation’s foreign missions to be probed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.  “A zero tolerance policy on corruption should not just receive lip service by rank and file but must receive a more robust implementation," he said.
 
Maduekwe was talking from both sides of his mouth.  I am sure we will be hearing a lot more about his three years of “shortcomings and mistakes.”
