Investigative journalist Seth Bokpe has voiced concerns about the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice CHRAJ. He stated that CHRAJ appears to be neglecting its duty to ensure public officials declare their assets.
Bokpe’s comments follow findings from an investigation. The investigation revealed that many important government figures have not followed the law. This law requires them to report their wealth.
The constitutional requirement for asset declaration is meant to promote transparency and accountability in public office. It helps prevent corruption.
CHRAJ is the body responsible for monitoring these declarations. It is also tasked with taking action when officials fail to comply.
The journalist’s remarks highlight a perceived gap in the enforcement of this crucial anti-corruption measure.
Ensuring public officials declare their assets is a key part of good governance. It helps build trust between citizens and their leaders.
