He said graft destroys merit and deprives deserving persons of their due right. He said that corruption is not only an obstacle in way to economic development but also causes delays in development projects because money earned from corruption and corrupt practices is concentrated in a few hands only.
He said NAB’s Awareness and Prevention Campaign was appreciated by all participants and remained very successful. NAB’s message “say no to corruption” is being carried on all ATM machines of all scheduled banks.
