The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has presented five policy documents on Fuel Distribution and Allocation Management, ICT and Digital Management, Petty Cash, Assets Management and Gifts and Register to the Office of the Administrator and Registrar General (OARG).
The presentation was done on the 28th January, 2026, in line with section 7(2) of the Anti-Corruption Act, 2008 (as amended in 2019) which mandates the Commission to conduct systems and processes review of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) with a view to identify corruption vulnerabilities and further proffer appropriate recommendations as preventive measures.
Coordinator of Operations, ACC, Patrick Sandi, in his statement, highlighted key objectives, compliance requirements, implementation frameworks, and the specific roles of the OARG in implementing recommendations in the five thematic policy reports. He also outlined monitoring, reporting and accountability mechanisms designed to ensure proper implementation and sustained compliance.
Head of Policy and Ethics Unit, ACC, Musa Kanteh, emphasized that this initiative forms part of the ACC’s prevention approach in combating corruption, strengthening internal controls, improving service delivery, and reducing opportunities for corruption in all public institutions. He noted that collaborating with OARG to review their systems and policies will help strengthen governance, and accountability within the institution.
In her welcome statement, the Administrator and Registrar General, Martina Baindu Egbenda Esq. expressed appreciation to the ACC, describing the initiative as timely and necessary. After formally receiving the reports from the ACC, she said that the policies will significantly strengthen their operational systems, improve accountability and enhance service delivery.
