Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin has revealed plans for a lifestyle audit legislation.
According to Speaker Bagbin, the lifestyle audit legislation is to ensure accountability and curb the lavish display of questionable wealth.
He revealed that the proposed law is to strengthen the fight against corruption in the country.
The Speaker of Parliament stated, “I am currently receiving extensive input to initiate legislation on lifestyle audits. It’s no surprise that this issue is gaining prominence in the speeches of senior officials and civil society organisations.
I’m encouraged that the Vice President and the Office of the Special Prosecutor have also begun discussing it.
“We will legislate it and put an end to individuals flaunting ill-gotten wealth in the faces of ordinary Ghanaians,” Speaker Bagbin added.
The information gathered suggests the legislation, once passed, will empower state institutions to investigate the lifestyles of public officials, politically exposed persons, and private individuals whose lives appear inconsistent with their declared sources of income.
Meanwhile, Ghana’s Parliament is set to introduce the “Vulture Awards”, a controversial initiative aimed at naming, shaming, and exposing corrupt individuals in public service.
The awards will target those described as the most morally bankrupt and perverse in public life.
According to reports, the Vulture Awards will be bestowed on those deemed the most perverse and morally bankrupt in public life.
