President-elect John Dramani Mahama has formed a committee to collect and receive information from the public about alleged cases of corruption.
According to a press statement issued on Wednesday, December 18, and signed by the Mahama Transition Team’s Spokesperson, the newly constituted group would act as a conduit for citizens to report corruption-related incidents.
The statement emphasized President-elect Mahama’s commitment to combating corruption comprehensively and ensuring that public resources are responsibly managed.
The team is led by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a Member of Parliament for North Tongu. Other noteworthy members include former Auditor-General Daniel Domelevo, retired Police Commissioner Nathaniel Kofi Boakye, private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, and investigative journalist Raymond Archer.
Their combined knowledge is likely to boost the efficacy of this anti-corruption program.
According to the statement, this development is part of the Mahama administration’s broader endeavor to rebuild public trust and improve anti-corruption institutions.
The team’s effort is expected to supplement existing procedures and encourage citizen participation in the fight against corruption.
