Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 May 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Democratic Republic of Congo (Development).
Democratic Republic of Congo (Development)
I did not say, but perhaps should have, that one problem is that, until now—and probably still—the police, soldiers, magistrates and judges are largely not paid. If public servants are not paid their only source of income is either robbery or corruption. Unless the justice system is properly funded, it is unlikely that proper justice will ever be available.
