We can’t disclose details of Buhari’s assets- CCB tells SERAP - Edoman - 06-18-2019 We can’t disclose details of Buhari’s assets- CCB tells SERAP The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has said it cannot make public the details of President Buhari’s assets declaration form submitted before the February 23rd presidential election. The Bureau made this known in response to a request by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) for the disclosure of assets declaration submitted by successive presidents and governors from 1999 till date. SERAP in its letter of request, asked the Bureau to make public “details of declarations made immediately after taking offices and thereafter, and for those who have left public offices, at the end of their term of office.” The group based its request on the Freedom of Information law enacted by former President Goodluck Jonathan. SERAP in its letter akso asked the CCB to make public, “information on the number of asset declarations so far verified by the CCB and the number of those declarations found to be false and deemed to be in breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers, by the Bureau.” The Bureau however in a response letter signed by Musa Usman, on behalf of CCB chairman, said SERAP's request falls short of the requirement of the law as it is only the National Assembly that can ask for such details from them. The CCB response in part reads Quote:“Paragraph 3© of the 3rd schedule to the 1999 Nigerian constitution (as amended) empowers the bureau to retain custody of asset declaration and make them available for inspection by any citizen on such terms and conditions to be prescribed by the national assembly. These terms and conditions are yet to be prescribed,” the letter read.SERAP says it will be challenging CCB's decision in court. by Linda Ikeji |
