In a recent revelation during the weekly press briefing of the Ministry of Information, the Anti-Corruption Commissioner emphasized that the ACC lacks the authority to remove individuals from office during an ongoing investigation. Only when a matter is formally charged in court can an individual be compelled to vacate their position.
The disclosure came as part of an update provided during the briefing on the alleged conflict of interest involving the Clerk of Parliament and his wife. The commissioner revealed that, during the investigation, discrepancies emerged regarding the duration of the wife’s employment. While the Clerk stated that she worked for 10 months, records at the Accountant General’s office indicated a period of 19 months.
As a condition of bail, Mr. Paran Tarawallie and his wife voluntarily returned Nle131,000. However, the commissioner emphasized that this payment does not absolve anyone of liability and responsibility, reiterating that the matter is still under investigation.
These are some of the deceptions and deceitful games of these guys.When Alpha Timbo was been investigated for the Chinese rice saga,he was suspended while the investigation was carried out,but now the ACC is telling us that he had no power to suspend the Clark of parliament for aggregious criminal crimes.Sad state of affairs. The same state captured trajectory. I believe Maada should bow his head of shame.
Paran please be an honourable man and resign. This is naked corruption
This is hilarious 😂😆
All I know here is there’s no difference from the ACC yesterday and the same ACC today. Abuse and misuse of office is an offense that cannot uphold/withhold individual in in any state trusted institution.
It’s a shame for a whole figure in the fight against corruption to say such statements. Some of are not thought since the inception of this region, he has been the vigilant defender of corrupt SLPP people.
His energy in fighting corruption is only on the opposition, and not all but Apc alone.
But the time will come when their did will hunt them too
