ICPC Boss Vows Not To Spare Corrupt Offers Within

The Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu has vowed that under his leadership, officers found to be involved in corruption will not be spared.
The Chairman, who hosted a delegation from the Civil Society Legislative Centre (CISLAC), said that ICPC would continue to live above board.
He said that he would run a responsible organization that will work within the confines of the law to tackle corruption in the country.
“As the Chairman of ICPC, I have told Nigerians that we are going to work within the confines of the law and also in accordance with the national best practices to ensure that we tackle this challenge of corruption in this country.
“We are determined to ensure that we promote good ethical justice and also run a responsible organization that is efficient in its targets and responsibility.
“We will continue to sustain that reputation and integrity which ICPC is known for and we are not going to tolerate any corruption within the Commission. Whatever we are going to do, we will ensure that we do it logically.”
The ICPC Boss emphasised the roles of civil society organisations like CISLAC in the fight against corruption, saying that such organisations have been keeping the agencies like ICPC on their toes through constant demands for transparency and accountability.
He promised that ICPC will continue to sustain its collaborative efforts with CSOs through many of its initiatives which includes Constituency and Executive Projects Tracking Initiatives (CEPTI), System Studies and Review and others.
This was even as the Executive Director of CISLAC, Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, said that they are out to strengthen the partnership that has been existing between the centre and ICPC.
“We will continue to support the good work that you are doing and support your leadership to ensure that we minimize the cost of corruption in Nigeria.”
