“To overcome corruption in a country, we need only one thousand conscious people who are willing to control this process of fighting corruption,” – said the honorable guest. “Fighting domestic corruption should start with children, it’s up to them to tell their parents that they will do their homework, and that they will not take a bribe to their teachers,” he added.
