“INEC to improve on its enlightenment and stakeholders mobilization on its activities at state level to encourage citizens confidence and participation.

“There is need for more proactive measures by anti-corruption agencies in timely investigation and prosecution of political and election offenders,” the communique said.

According to the participants, political parties should endeavour to practice improved internal democracy, especially during the conduct of their primaries, conventions and all other elections.

The communique called on relevant institutions to hasten the process of establishing Electoral Offences Commission to punish electoral offenders.

 

“Genuine efforts must be put in place to reduce the high level of Poverty in the society to discourage people from embarking on corruptive tendencies particularly on election Days,” they further stated.

There was Question and Answer sessions during and after all sessions.

The concluding component of the meeting involved the development of political party action plans towards moving the Anti-Corruption and Accountability project forward

The meeting also made some preliminary observations on issues concerning Anti-Corruption and Accountability in Nigeria in General and at state level in
Kogi State

They are that Corruption has gone “beyond demanding and taking monetary gratifications, but involves all action and inactions that goes against established laws and ethics, which promotes personal gratification against that of the general population

“Despite the increase in Media reportage on Corruption and Accountability issues, there was still gaps in information and knowledge among the citizens on Anti-Corruption and Accountability particularly on elections

“The outcomes of elections at state and national levels overtime have not been satisfactory and acceptable to the larger majority of citizens due to perceived and sometimes real issues of Corruptions in elections.

“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Kogi State has not shown commitment in mobilizing citizens for the on-going Continuous Voters Registration (CVR).

“That there has been large number of reported multiple registrants in the on-going Continuous Voter registration which is worrisome. This is as a result of poor knowledge of the procedure and implications of such actions.

“That Political corruption has had severe implications on the quality of Governance by throwing up persons with Questionable characters for elections

“Condemn the outrageous alleged expenses and monetization of party primaries and the buying and selling of votes by political parties, which has led to the highest bidder emerging as Candidates across board.

“Internal Political Party Democracies have over the years been challenging and a major stumbling block in successful elections in Nigeria due to corruption and lack of accountability in political parties,” the participants observed. (vitalnewsngr.com)
