At least 30 youth from five African countries have vowed to take a leading role to fight corruption in their respective countries.

The youth are members of Active Young African Leaders (AYAL) and the two-day summit addressed such issues like the role of youth ending corruption, good governance, rule of law, Judicial systems in Africa, among other critical issues.

Sietse Blom, the President of Anti-Corruption International (ACI) appealed to the youth from Rwanda, Kenya, South Sudan, Namibia and host Uganda that the responsibility of ending corruption lies entirely on them because they are the leaders of tomorrow.

“There is no single positive consequence of corruption and you must take the lead as the youth in your respective countries to ensure the vice ends for African countries to progress,” Blom appealed to the youth.

The youth shared ideas on what can be done to tackle corruption in their respective countries.

Ismail Waiswa, the President of ACI Uganda chapter said that many of Africa’s challenges are born from corruption.
“Corruption brings along with countless negativities like injustice, poor governance, abuse of power, poverty among many others and as youths, we ought to fight this cancer,” Waiswa explained.

Ronald Ssenfuka, the Programs Manager of TYAL Uganda said that children must be guided at an early to shun corruption as a way of ending the vice once and for all.

The two-day summit was in jinja and the participants were awarded certificates of attendance.

Jan Philip Unger-Gebhardt from the Germany embassy assured the youth of full support.
