Chairman Mr. Prince Goba led ACC delegation comprising Deputy Commissioner Mr. Augustine Foday Ngobie and Advisory Board members to Minister of Finance Mr. Sheku Ahmed Fantamadi Bangura's office. Finance team included Financial Secretary Mr. Matthew Dingie, Principal Deputy Financial Secretary Mr. Samuel E.B. Momoh, Budget Bureau Director Mr. Tasima Jah, and Technical Adviser Dr. Franklin Sisabu Bendu.
Minister Bangura acknowledged ACC's indispensable role safeguarding public resources through corruption prevention. Strong inter-institutional collaboration remains cornerstone of effective financial governance, Minister emphasized, pledging continued Ministry support minimizing fiscal impropriety risks across government systems.
Chairman Goba commended Minister's economic stewardship while presenting pressing institutional constraints. Logistical deficiencies hampering office operations, regional infrastructure requiring urgent refurbishment, staff welfare concerns, and Board member emoluments emerged as critical challenges demanding resolution. Strengthened institutional capacity directly correlates with enhanced anti-corruption effectiveness, Chairman stressed.
Financial Secretary Dingie assured delegation their concerns would receive careful consideration ensuring Commission's optimal functionality. Significant development emerged through disclosure regarding ACC's prospective inclusion in forthcoming Public Financial Management Project capacity-building components.
