Proceeding contribution from Claire Curtis-Thomas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Africa.
Africa
On the issue of corruption, does the hon. Gentleman agree that part of the problem in incredibly poor countries is that the Government may have insufficient funds to pay realistic salaries to those who head the judiciary? A fallible judiciary leads to many miscarriages of justice in those countries. Does he support the initiative by this Government and many others to support the development of judiciaries, so that they can pave the way to better justice and help to root out corruption?
