I came into government with values about what I think is important, especially around transparency, social justice, and justice, among others. You are almost always a product of the values you believe in. Fortunately, a lot of these values cut across different faiths, they are not necessarily restricted to a religion or one faith.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cIn societies that are more developed institutionally, you don\u2019t need to be told that you shouldn\u2019t do certain things because you could end up in jail if you do and there is a good likelihood that you could be detected and the process will go through and you will be punished.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cI speak about corruption and all that.
