The Anti-Corruption Commission boss for Sierra Leone, Francis Ben Kelfala has informed pressmen that, the Auditor General’s report is a whistle blower for the commission.
During the press conference, Ben Kelfala highlighted key institutions that have been audited by the Audit Service Sierra Leone, and these include the Ministry of Agriculture, the Sierra Leone Police, and the office of the Accountant General.
He said most of the issues highlighted by the Audit report are administrative and that should have been handled by the various heads of those institutions but they failed.
According to him, henceforth, they will have to recommend to Parliament to hold heads of those institutions to account for failing to act on those who fail to perform their duties efficiently.
Meanwhile, the Parliament of Sierra Leone has stated that it’s only Parliament that has the constitutional mandate to investigate institutions that have been factored in the audit report and no other public institutions.
This was also reiterated by the opposition deputy leader later today and warned all to allow parliament to look into audit report.
