At
a recent State House summit on governance and accountability, the President
confirmed one thing among others: that he had no political spine to fight the
vice of corruption.
The
President blamed the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission for submitting to
his office an “unreliable” list of persons suspected to be corrupt which he
acted on and lost political capital. Further, he derided the Auditor-General
for discharging the mandate of his office which is: to audit Government bodies
and report on their management of public funds more specifically Euro-Bond
money. In the president‘s view, the Auditor-General‘s continued search for information
and proof of accountability was inappropriate and unwarranted.
