Members of the media fraternity and civil society organisations (CSOs) have been encouraged to play an integral role in the fight against corruption and asset recovery in the country as part of their contributions towards the country's fight against corruption.
Urging the groups to participate in the campaign through investigative journalism, public sensitisation, and contributing to legislative reforms, Bridgett Nadia Barnor, fraud investigator at Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) indicated that collective action remains the most effective approach to combating corruption and recovering stolen assets, emphasizing the FIC's openness to collaborate with journalists, development partners, and advocacy groups in building a corruption-free society.
She made the call during a one day workshop organized by the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC), in collaboration with the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) and the Financial Intelligence Center (FIC), on asset recovery and management at Ada in the Greater Accra Region.
The event organized with funding support from the Inter-Governmental Action Group Against Money Laundering in West Africa, brought together about twenty journalists from the print, electronic and online categories.
