The Daily Graphic writes on efforts being made by Anti-Corruption institutions to bring corruption under control. It is happy that the rot exposed by the media in the public service has raised some alarm and steps are being taken to address it. Touching on the alleged malfeasance at the National Service Scheme, the paper says it is alarmed at the level of white-collar crime and personalities involved. The Graphic thinks the leadership of the country be it temporal or spiritual, must stand up against those who are bent on engaging in corrupt practices. It appeals to government especially the President to walk the talk by directing the security apparatus to go after those incorrigible characters who are stealing State funds to serve as a deterrent to others. 

The Today Newspaper says most of the problems facing the country presently are as a result of the failure of successive governments to give much recognition to state institutions to operate. To the paper, many of the alleged corrupt scandals that have rocked the country could have been prevented if the country had made good use of our institutions. The paper advices that we should all support this cause by ensuring that the institutions are given the needed assistance and the Heads of institutions should also live up to their expectations, by ensuring that the public have confidence in them.
