The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission says it has begun arresting civil servants who live beyond their means, adding that it seized 61 houses from one female public servant.
The commission also revealed that it would soon begin publishing a list
of the most corrupt Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
The Chairman of
the ICPC, Mr. Ekpo Nta, said this while addressing participants of the National
Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies at the Abuja headquarters of the
agency on Friday.
Speaking on the theme, ‘The role of the ICPC in the War Against
Corruption: Mandate, Strategies and Challenges’, the ICPC boss said, “We are
developing scorecard like Transparency International which rates countries as
to the level of corruption of countries. We have developed one for ministries
departments and agencies. Hopefully, we know those who will take the first
prize.”
Nta added that once the 2016 Budget is passed, the ICPC would begin monitoring
how monies are being spent.
He revealed that the commission had begun prosecuting public servants
that live beyond their means.
