GHANA INTEGRITY INITIATIVE URGES GOVERNMENT TO IMPLEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE

A Policy Analyst at the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII), Alexis Dery has stated that recommendations from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) are bogus if government does not take steps to implement them.
He says corruption will not cease in public sectors if drastic steps are not taken to rid the system of it.
Mr. Dery’s comments come in the wake of revelations of misappropriation of state funds by some ministries at the sitting of the Public Accounts Committee.
He explains that successive governments have failed to enforce recommendations from the PAC sittings and that has allowed the corruption to go unchecked.
He tasks the government to strength institutions in other to tackle malfeasance in the public sector.

Alexis Dery also called on the government to initiate institutional reforms to tackle corruption in the public sector.
