Don’t use COVID-19 to loot, ICPC warns MDAs, public officers

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has warned Ministries, Departments and Agencies , involved in the management of Coronavirus disease, against abuse of procurement process.It said COVID-19 should not be used as excuse for corruption in any sector of the economy.But the commission has put measures in place to check those who may take advantage of the emergency at hand to loot public funds.

“This Advisory is not finger pointing at the health sector or its leaders and others in government and outside government who have sacrificially and admirably led our response to COVID-19 thus far. “Better to be safe than sorry. Responding to this or any other emergency or implementation of government policy for that matter should not increase integrity deficit or risky behaviour.ICPC said its advisory was based on past experience in emergency management on the country.

” However, bearing in mind that the stark reality of the inadequacy and vulnerability of our health system cannot be separated from the negative effects and impact of persistent corruption in past years of the locusts, we caution against the exigency of the times resulting in further undermining the credibility and stability of Nigeria’s health system including the well being of those who operate therein and the citizens to be catered for.
