The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari,
says those seeking political appointments in his administration will be
forced to declare their assets before taking office and before leaving.
Buhari said this during an interview with Sahara TV on Sunday.
He said this would encourage accountability and reduce corruption.
He said, “All those that were governors,
ministers, permanent secretaries, head of foreign staff and all those
with political appointments will have to declare their assets on the
assumption of their appointment and definitely with the courts. And once
they leave they have to re-declare their assets.”
Buhari, who insisted that last-minute
defectors would not be given appointments in his government, promised
not to interfere with the judiciary in the fight against corruption but
would strengthen the nation’s justice system.
