The Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Samuel Awuku has dared Deputy Information Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa to name the state institution which funded the two recent investigative works by journalist Anas Aremayaw Anas.A statement signed by Deputy Minister for Information, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa on Monday revealed that the two recent investigative works by Anas Aremayaw Anas [that is the Cocoa smuggling report and the latest on happenings at the Tema Port] were funded by a State institution.The statement indicated that the principle behind funding the two projects is to employ counter-check measures in order to assess whether or not existing systems put in place are yielding the required results.Speaking on Ekosii Sen programme on Asempa FM Monday, Mr. Awuku noted that he was reliably informed that no state institution funded Anas’ investigations.According to him, he was throwing a challenge to the deputy minister to name the state institution which funded Anas and the one who contracted him to do the investigation.He also noted that President Mills' directive that people who would be enlisted into CEPS must declare their assets was misdirected because Act 550 of the 1992 constitution states that people from the ranks of assistant collectors of taxes declare their assets.But Deputy Information Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa in response explained that “the government does not think it is strategic at this point in time to make all these details public, it will jeopardize what is going on”.He hinted that 15 people have been arrested and some of the companies that have been indicted have been invited for questioning.Mr Okudzeto Ablakwa said the government would make all the details public at the right time so that it does not jeopardize the ongoing actions being taken.Meanwhile, the National Youth Organizer of the Convention People's party (CPP), James Kwabena Bomfeh, a panelist on the programme stated that issues of corruption should not be made partisan issues but rather there should be a collective effort in fighting it.Story by Adwoa Gyasiwaa/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
