Centre for Freedom and Accuracy holds public lecture

The Centre for Freedom and Accuracy (CFA) is to hold series of media and civic education on the effect of corruption on the national economy.

The CFA, in collaboration with Tiger Eye Private Investors, will launch the corruption crusade on April 29, a press statement signed by Mr. Andrew Awuni, Executive Director of CFA, and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Thursday stated.

It said, the campaign would be mainly a mass media advocacy aimed at raising public and civic awareness of the debilitating effects of corruption on Ghana’s national development effort and dissuade people from the practice.

“It is also aimed at following up on all reported cases of corruption and putting pressure on all state institutions that are responsible for taking action in these cases, to live up to their responsibilities” it said.

The CFA would establish youth clubs against corruption across the country and the naming and shaming on national television and other media networks, public officials who are caught engaging in corruption.

The campaign launch would be performed by the President of the Ghana Bishops Conference, Most Reverend Joseph Osei Bonsu and Justice Emile Short, formerly of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice.

President John Dramani Mahama would be represented by the Attorney General and Minster for Justice, Madam Marrita Brew Appiah Oppong.
