Heads of Anti-Corruption Agencies have requested Heads of Government in Europe, the United States and other jurisdictions to work towards speedy and unfettered repatriation of recovered assets to African countries.
This was contained in a communique issued at the end of the 9th Commonwealth Regional Conference of Anti-Corruption Agencies in Africa at the Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa in Kampala, Uganda.
The event took place between May 6 and 10, 2019 and was attended by most of the Heads of anti-graft agencies in Africa with a theme titled: “Time to act: Prevent corruption for sustainable development.”
President of the Republic of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni declared the conference open on Monday, May 6, 2019 while the Commonwealth Secretary General, Hon Patricia Scotland, spoke on remarkable achievements of anti-graft Agencies in Africa.
The Acting Chairman of the EFCC and the immediate Chairman of Association of Anti- Corruption Agencies in Commonwealth Africa, Ibrahim Magu, spoke during the conference and highlighted major achievements of the commission under his watch.
Experts from different walks of life further gave illuminating experiences and solutions on how to tackle the menace of corruption.
The communique further urged Anti-Corruption Agencies to emulate the EFCC and acquire polygraph technology as part of their investigative and integrity testing process.
The EFCC is the only agency in Commonwealth Africa using the technology for corruption cases in courts.
An investigator with the commission had demonstrated the use of the Polygraph just as other agencies made enquiries from the EFCC on how to acquire the technology for positive development in anti-graft war.
The conference also expressed concerns
over the heavy losses that Africa suffers as a result of illegal transfers of proceeds of corruption and crime out of Africa.
It added that there was the need to strengthen cooperation and collaboration among the Anti-Corruption Agencies in Commonwealth Africa for purposes of facilitating asset recovery and return.
