The Spokesperson for the President-elect, John Mahama\u2019s transition team, has said that the five-member anti-corruption committee does not require funding to operate.<\/p>\n
In an interview on Asempa FM\u2019s Ekosii Sen<\/strong>, Felix Kwakye Ofosu emphasised that the committee is non-partisan and the members have on their own undertaken several anti-corruption activities.<\/p>\nIn this regard, the Abura Asebu Kwamankese MP-elect noted they will be delivering a Pro Bono service.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe issue of funding should not even come up because nobody has said they need funding to do anything. Mahama has an office where he has been operating since 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NDC also has several offices it operates from\u00a0so we are not now going to spend money on creating a new office. They do not need any budget nor have we made any funding request so the question on funding doesn\u2019t even arise. They will be providing pro-bono services,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Mr Kwakye Ofosu\u2019s clarification comes after Effutu MP and Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin questioned the committee\u2019s source of funding.<\/p>\n
According to Mr Afenyo-Markin, the work of the committee will require significant funding, and it is important to know the source of the funds that will support its activities.<\/p>\n
He argued that, if the committee is privately funded, corruption could eventually arise in their camp, but if it is publicly funded, the NPP would want to understand the process for allocating those resources.<\/p>\n
Afenyo-Markin emphasised that the NPP would also investigate the committee\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
However, Mr Kwakye Ofosu has allayed all fears, stating there is no cause for alarm because it will not cost anybody a dime.<\/p>\n
The team will be chaired by North Tongu Member of Parliament(MP), Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as part of his efforts to combat corruption and the looting of state resources.<\/p>\n
Other members include former Auditor-General Daniel Domelevo, retired Commissioner of Police Nathaniel Kofi Boakye, private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, and investigative journalist Raymond Archer. Their diverse expertise is expected to enhance the initiative\u2019s effectiveness.<\/p>\n
The committee is expected to collect and investigate corruption cases, which will then be handed over to the relevant authorities for further examination and prosecution.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
