Coronavirus: Buhari asked to order EFCC, ICPC to monitor funds
SERAP stated that this would remove the risks of corruption and mismanagement in the healthcare system that is already weakened by systemic corruption.
SERAP said by prioritising transparency and accountability in the spending of funds to combat coronavirus, the Buhari administration will be taking preventive measures to ensure the health and safety of Nigerians are not compromised by corruption. The letter read in part: “The challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic also show the urgent need for your government to improve Nigeria’s health systems and to encourage state governors to commit some parts of their security votes to provide additional resources towards strengthening the health systems within their states.
“The proposed increase in spending of funds on COVID-19 means accountability for those funds should be top of your government’s list of priorities, if it is to remove opportunities for corruption that can undermine initiatives to stop the spread of COVID-19.”
