Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Edem Senanu, Co-chair of the Citizen Movement against Corruption, has asserted that senior presidential advisor Yaw Osafo-Maafo can advise President Akufo-Addo about the lapses in the asset declaration law for a review.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yaw Osafo-Maafo has observed that the current asset declaration regime in Ghana is not transparent.<\/p>\n

But Mr. Senanu, in an interview on 3FM, demanded the next line of action from the presidential advisor, emphasising that Mr. Osafo-Maafo can move a step further to initiate processes to have the law reviewed due to his political position.<\/p>\n

The anti-graft campaigner described the asset declaration law in its current form as being \u201ctoothless\u201d. He compared Ghana to Nigeria, which has a more comprehensive system for public officials to declare their assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not effective, it is toothless the way it is now and our senior minister and senior advisor can just tell the president to make sure that we do a review of it and make it fit for purpose,\u201d said Mr. Senanu on 3FM\u2019s Hot Edition news programme on Tuesday, April 23.<\/p>\n

He further noted that there\u2019s no \u201cpolitical will\u201d to ensure the law is reviewed because \u201cif they really had that as something that they were bent on doing, it would have been done by now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe political will to the extent that we want to ensure everybody declares and nobody begins to play games with resources and fraudulently acquire [assets] should be benefiting the good people of this country.<\/p>\n

Chiefs opposed idea of publishing assets for fear of being killed by their relatives \u2013 Osafo-Maafo<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t just say we made an attempt in the initial drafting because everybody knows that no policy is static,\u201d he said, adding that \u201cpolicy tends to be dynamic based on changing circumstances, there is opportunity for policy reforms and legal reform,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
