CMaC applauds Mahama’s push for swift prosecution of public sector offenders
Co-Chair of the Citizens Movement Against Corruption (CMaC), Edem Senanu, has commended President John Dramani Mahama for his renewed commitment to fast-tracking the prosecution of public officials implicated in the misuse or mismanagement of state resources.
President Mahama, while addressing concerns over persistent financial irregularities highlighted in the Auditor-General’s report, announced plans to work closely with the Chief Justice, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, and other key institutions to expedite legal action against those responsible.
Responding to the announcement, Mr. Senanu described the initiative as a decisive and much-needed step toward enhancing transparency, accountability, and safeguarding the public purse.
“I think it is highly commendable. Indeed, many of us have felt that this charade of having a Public Accounts Committee sit, highlight figures, and then a year after highlighting even higher figures, without seeing traction on retrieving the money or holding culprits accountable, does not augur well for governance,” he said.
