Nigerian Culture and Societal Ills
Our society is fraught with social ills. Armed robbery in broad day light is rampant everywhere. Cases of assassinations are reported every day. The get – rich – quick craze that has swept across the nation has produced a generation of Nigerians who do not believe in hard work, Corrupt practices have become the order of the day. The AA will evolve a programme that will check this trend.
As part of public policy, corrupt practices would not be tolerated by the AA. As already said, existing laws would be reviewed to enable the media participate in the war against such practices. Public officers engaged in corrupt practices would be swiftly brought before the court. The various agencies put in place would be strengthened for this purpose. In this regard, the AA government would adequately fund the agencies to enable them perform better.
Public declaration of asserts by public officers is not enough without enforcing same. Relevant measures would therefore be taken in this direction by appropriate agencies as outlined in this manifesto. The AA would put the necessary legal mechanism in place to ensure that corrupt public officers proved as such after all the due process of the law do not just end in prison. The Party would ensure that the public materials stolen are fully recovered where necessary, through public auction of such corrupt officers property. Such officers would also be banned from public service for a period not less than ten years.
As an added measure, public officers would be properly remunerated and their tenure of office properly protected in line with civil service rule. In this regard the traditional roles of the Civil Service Commission would be restored and also protected from excessive executive interference.
