Saraki stated this in Abuja on Monday, May 15, at the launch of "Antidotes for Corruption: The Nigerian Story, " a book written by Senator Dino Melaye.

He mentioned other anti-corruption legislation being considered by the Senate.

This includes the Proceeds of Crime Bill, the Special Anti-Corruption Court, which will be done through constitutional amendment and the Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Bill.
