“The real impact of corruption is not in the money loss. The most insidious effect of corruption is that it causes key government institutions to be degraded.”
“We cannot have sustainable development until we stop corruption.”
“Never give in to authority just because it’s authority.”
“Above all, whistleblowers are citizens. We cannot just delegate everything to our governments, prosecutors, or media. Sometimes as citizens it is necessary for us to act ourselves.”
“I don’t know if ending corruption is possible, but I will continue doing my job exposing corruption until the end of my life.”
“My story and my work are not of opposition, but for the entrenchment of democratic values”
