The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, ICPC has recommended the suspension of public office holders under investigation.

The ICPC Chairman Bolaji Owasanoye made the recommendation at a National Summit on Diminishing Corruption in the Public Service. The two-day event is organised by ICPC in collaboration with the Office of the Secretary of the Federation in Abuja.

He said that the commission had discovered that some civil servants served conviction terms and return to work as if nothing has happened.

He noted that by next week the ICPC would be launching nationwide a community enlightenment and advocacy initiative called “My Constituency, My Project”.

He said that using the programme the Commission would sensitize communities to own projects approved for them by government and to know the amount involved.
