Working together with my colleagues made up of prominent persons, the Kadjebi assembly has recovered GH\u00a23,489 in 2022,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>One of the suggestions the group offered to local authorities has contributed to sealing revenue collection leakage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRevenue officers now collect levies and fees via mobile money and not cash. Cash collection in the past resulted in shortage, ending that mode has increased revenue nearly half,\u201d an Official who does not want to be identified at the Kadjebi Assembly, says.<\/p>\n<p>He testifies that the yet-to-be-published AG\u2019s report did not cite the assembly in any financial malfeasance, attributing it to proactive and stringent measures undertaken by authorities to ensure a sound public financial management system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir role is important so we invite them during occasions and involve them as much as possible,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>At Mfantseman Municipal Assembly, the LANet, besides following funds recovery, played a significant role in operationalising the Nsanfo health facility which was not in use due to the supply of utility services, including electricity and water.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"635\" data-id=\"397034\" src=\"https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CORRUTION-1024x635.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-397034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CORRUTION-1024x635.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CORRUTION-300x186.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CORRUTION-768x476.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CORRUTION.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>Role of LANet\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Armed with collated citations from the AG\u2019s audit recommendation report, members of the LANet, mainly concerned citizens, were mobilised and trained by the GACC under the Hewlett Foundation to increase local governance participation.<\/p>\n<p>Present in 34 districts within 13 of the country\u2019s 16 administrative regions, their activities include, monitoring and making sure\u00a0\u00a0that contract awarding processes are followed and ensuring that an improved procedure of engaging auctioneers is established.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey undertook these activities through visitations, holding periodic dialogue with officials of the assembly where challenges and solutions are discussed,\u201d says Mrs Beauty Emefa Narteh, the Executive Secretary of the GACC.<\/p>\n<p>The LANet groups, she notes, harnessed the power of the media by participating in a series of media engagements to discuss implementation of audit recommendations, National Anti-Corruption Action Plan and related issues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hopeful future\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"927\" height=\"787\" data-id=\"397036\" src=\"https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/PICTYRRE.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-397036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/PICTYRRE.png 927w, https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/PICTYRRE-300x255.png 300w, https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/PICTYRRE-768x652.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p>For Mrs Narteh, the gains made indicate that financial infractions can be nipped in the bud.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf money that was supposed to be used to undertake a project two or three years ago, was embezzled and it is retrieved this year, we will lose the value of that money. So, we should be preventing malfeasance from happening in the first place,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to a leading local governance expert, Dr. Eric Oduro Osae, the monitoring done by LANet and training journalists to put spotlight on the citation and discuss the issues on radio is an innovative approach worth commending.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we also realise the media can do so much if empowered. For instance, if it\u2019s procurement, who are those behind? Journalists could go behind to reveal the identity of persons contracts have been awarded to and if they are politically exposed, or not,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"889\" height=\"493\" data-id=\"397038\" src=\"https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/PICTURE-CORRUPTION.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-397038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/PICTURE-CORRUPTION.png 889w, https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/PICTURE-CORRUPTION-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/gna.org.gh\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/PICTURE-CORRUPTION-768x426.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 889px) 100vw, 889px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Dr Osae, who is the Director-General of the Internal Audit Agency, proposes that the results should be fine-tuned, perfected, validated and handed over to the local government as a blueprint to be adopted by local government and mainstreamed into the national system to support recovery and prevent infractions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at the quantum that has been retrieved in this short period.
