WE WILL LEGISLATE ‘LIFESTYLE AUDIT’ AND PUT AN END TO FLAUNTING ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH IN THE FACES OF ORDINARY GHANAIAN – Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin
Alban Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, has disclosed intentions for a lifestyle audit law.
Speaker Bagbin stated that the lifestyle audit law aims to promote accountability and limit ostentatious displays of dubious riches.
He disclosed that the suggested legislation aims to enhance the battle against corruption in the nation.
The Speaker of Parliament stated, “I am currently receiving extensive input to initiate legislation on lifestyle audits. It’s no surprise that this issue is gaining prominence in the speeches of senior officials and civil society organisations.
I’m encouraged that the Vice President and the Office of the Special Prosecutor have also begun discussing it.
“We will legislate it and put an end to individuals flaunting ill-gotten wealth in the faces of ordinary Ghanaians,” Speaker Bagbin added.
The collected data indicates that the law, once enacted, will enable state agencies to examine the living conditions of public officials, politically exposed individuals, and private citizens whose lifestyles seem misaligned with their reported income sources.
