A top continental parliamentary caucus against corruption has called for collaboration with relevant organisations particularly the African Union, to leverage on issues of accountability, transparency, integrity and good governance. Muturi called on parliaments to embrace their national chapters of APNAC and recognise them as crucial caucuses that help strengthen capacities of African parliamentarians to fight corruption and promote good governance. "We call upon all speakers of parliaments in the African region, in the spirit of strengthening their legislatures to fight corruption to recognise the national APNAC chapters as a Parliamentary Caucus," he said. Kenya, Rwanda and Cameroon (with Ghana as an alternate) were nominated to represent APNAC in the Global Organization of Parliaments Against Corruption (GOPAC) executive committee. APNAC, an affiliate of the GOPAC, was founded 20 years in Uganda, to strengthen African parliaments' commitment and capacity to fight corruption.
