Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang backed calls for legal backing to hold private and public officials accountable for their unexplained wealth.
According to her, the current administration remains committed to fighting corruption and plans to lay the Conduct of Public Officers Bill in Parliament for deliberation.
She further underscored the need for a more robust financing system to support the mandate of anti-corruption agencies in an effort to protect their operations from political interference.
“The revised Conduct of Public Officers Bill will contain the views of CSOs, anti-corruption institutions, the media, the international community and all relevant stakeholders to ensure that this bill stands the test of time,” she said.
“We must ensure also that we have sustainable financing for anti-corruption institutions to reduce the influence and enhance independence,” she stated.
