Executive
Director of the Ghana Integrity Initiative, Vitus Adaboo Azeem wants
President John Dramani Mahama to set up an independent body of inquiry
to look at the findings by the Public Accounts Committee.
Explaining
his point on “Tea Cup” on Radio Gold,, Mr. Azeem was of the view that
the independent body would serve as a check on the PAC so as to ensure
that they are not influenced by their parochial interests.
Also
noting down the possibility of the members being influenced on partisan
lines, the GII Boss advised them to be nationalistic in their actions so
that “at the end of the day, their recommendations will be such that
eventually everybody will accept.”
According to him, it is
incumbent on the PAC to present their report to Parliament for
endorsement and further sent to the Attorney General’s department. The
Attorney General, he urged, should ensure that persons indicted in the
report must face appropriate sanctions.
“If the Auditor General
has established clearly that this person has stolen money. It has come
before Public Accounts Committee. Public Accounts Committee have grilled
the person and they have confirmed, and Parliament has endorsed it; I
think that it should immediately go to Attorney General for prosecution
or recovery of those monies.” |
