The Minister of Educa­tion, Haruna Iddrisu, has appealed to the Institute of Chartered Accountant Gha­na (ICAG) to avail its expertise for the fight against corruption in the country.

According to him the role of accountants in dealing with corruption which had become a bane of the country's develop­ment cannot be overemphasised and the Institute must show keen interest in this fight.

The Minister made the appeal when he inaugurated a 13-mem­ber governing council for the institute in Accra yesterday.

Members of the council are; President, Mr Augustine Addo, Vice President, Reverend Dr Cynthia Ayorkor Sallah; Mrs Patience Mawushie Dzikunoo Mr Thomas Kwesi Esso Dr Dr Frank Gbadago, Ms Frances Enyonam Sosoo and Mrs Belin­da Dede Tandoh.
