The National Security Minister,Albert Kan-Dapaah has blamed Parliament for the various corrupt practices in the country.
According to him, Parliament has over the years failed to effectively deliver on its financial accountability role.
Albert Kan-Dapaah who has once chaired the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament said “As far as financial accountability is concerned, it is Parliament that is at the centre of it all. If corruption persist in a country it is largely because Parliament has not exercised its financial accountability role. As for people misusing government funds it doesn’t surprise me, what surprises me is when you don’t stop them from doing it,” Mr Kan Dapaah said at a corruption forum organized by the African Parliamentary Network against corruption.
