Anti-corruption campaigner and Vice Chair of the African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption, Edem Senanu, has called for clearer laws and stronger sanctions to ensure public officials who breach conduct rules can be effectively held accountable. He said Ghana's legal framework does not adequately prescribe specific sanctions for some violations involving public officials, creating difficulties when prosecutors seek to pursue cases of alleged wrongdoing. His comments followed a Corruption Watch investigation into the use of public funds in the construction of astroturf facilities under the One Constituency, One Astroturf programme introduced during the administration of former President Nana Akufo-Addo.
