Dear Transparency,
I belong to a new political group in Belize called Vision Inspired by the People. We are planning a rally for “Anti Corruption Day”. We are convinced that Campaign Financing is the root of corruption in Belize, we have been advocating for Campaign Financing legislation to be enacted but both mainstream parties don’t seem interested.
1. How can TI help us bring more pressure on this issue.
2. Why was Belize was not ranked on the TI corruption index for 2009 and 2010. Thank you for your kind and prompt response. VIP Public Relations Officer

Hello sir,
Abimbola Ogungbola is my name,i am the c.e.o of Graviswailer Productions,an entertainment production company,i am an African a Nigerian to be precise,i have developed an anti-corruption TV program that is going to be on air for 30 minutes every week end for 52 week,i.e 52 episodes.
I have written proposal letters to the federal goverment agencies in nigeria that are in charge of corruption cases in Nigeria for sponsorship,they are THE INDEPENDENT CORRUPT PRACTICE COMMISSION (ICPC)and THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL FRAUD COMMISSION,i received a reply in 2008 that i should produce a pilot shot for them to see,these i have not been able to do because of financial constrains that is the reason why i am searching for an organisation such as yours that can assist me inthe production of just one episode that will pave way for subsiquent episodes,or may be you can introduce me to an organisation or an individual that can assist.
This is a program that will dicourage the people of Nigeria from thier corupt ways and it will also teach them how to vote correct and rigth leaders in to governance because from what i have seen so far i found aout the major problem we have in Nigeria is the problem of bad leadership and we can get our act together and with determination we will make sure the leaders we vote in to our public officeses are good people and these TV program i have developed will teacch us how to go about it.
There is going to be a general election in Nigeria in the 2010 this program will be very helpfull before and during the elections,i beg for your assistance in the area of finance so that i can be able to produce an episode for the would be sponsors to see.
i am looking forward to your favourable reply,
your faithfully,
Aimbola Ogungbola.
