General News of Friday, 26 August 2016Source: classfmonline.comGraft sanctions too loose - Kan-DapaahAlbert Kan-Dapaah, Fmr. Minister of InteriorA former Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, Albert Kan-Dapaah has said sanction regimes in the new Public Financial Management law are not stringent enough to deter people from robbing the state. But speaking at a national forum on Open Governance organised by the Ghana Integrity Initiative, Mr Kan-Dapaah said the new law was no different from existing laws in the country. In Nigeria, for instance, we have an independent fiscal policy council with powers to challenge the government and we have it in Brazil. Over all, I can only say without passing judgment that so far as transparency and accountability are concerned, I think the new law is no better than the existing practices we have today,” Mr Kan-Dapaah added.
