Investigative journalist Seth Bokpe has expressed concern over the enforcement of asset declaration laws. He stated that the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice CHRAJ is not doing enough.
His comments follow an investigation that found many public officials have not declared their assets. This is a requirement by the constitution.
The investigation highlighted that ministers and other high-ranking officials were among those not complying. Bokpe believes this failure impacts accountability.
He suggested that CHRAJ needs to be more proactive in ensuring public officers follow the law. This includes taking action against those who fail to declare their assets.
The issue of asset declaration is meant to prevent corruption and promote transparency in government.
Bokpe's statements underscore the importance of robust oversight mechanisms for public officials.
