The Member of Parliament for Esikuma Odobeng Brakwah Costituecy in the Central Region, Paul Collins Appiah Ofori has described President Mills' call for public office holders to declare their assets as a camouflage.President John Evans Atta Mills proposed that public holders should declare their assets on assumption of office, to ensure transparency and accountability.President Mills at a meeting with staff of the Customs Excise and Preventive service, (CEPS) at the Tema Port last Friday, stated that the declaration of assets will help reduce bribery and corruption in Ghana.President’s pronouncement follows the release of a video documentary by Anas Aremeyaw Anas that exposed corrupt practices that take place at the Tema Ports, dubbed “Enemies Of The State" .But the Member of Parliament for Asikuma-Odobeng-Brakwa Constituency who is known for his vociferous crusade against corruption, says the president’s call is just a camouflage saying nothing good will come out of it.He told Adom News that the appropriate means of curbing corruption is to ensure that the law takes its course against perpetrators of the crime in Ghana.He said government should use the revelation by Anas Aremeyaw Anas to prosecute the culprits to serve as a deterrent to others.Story by Kwaku Adu Kumi/Adom News
