He went on to explain some of the strategies to fight corruption and ensure just society include giving people good services for people not to feel a need to bribe getting better services and explaining people’s rights to different services.

A toll free telephone was introduced and the number was given to people to report any corruption and give information in case they learn of it. Sensitizing local people of the law that punishes corrupt officials, the dangers of corruption to the society are among the set strategies.

Concerning creating a just society, local leaders from the village leaders to the district officials will be sensitized of their responsibilities in solving people’s problems and on time to avoid stretching cases leading to injustice to the involved parties.
