Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission ,ICPC, has unveiled service charter to help track, monitor and hold the commission accountable.
Dr Musa Aliyu, the Chairman of ICPC, who said this at the inauguration of the charter in Abuja on Tuesday, said that it
was in a bid to ensure excellent service delivery to the nation.
Represented by the Commission’s Secretary, Mr Clifford Oparaodu, Aliyu said that with the charter in place, the ICPC was being repositioned to serve the nation better.
According to him, the charter will help the commission to monitor its performance rigorously, seek feedback from stakeholders, and adjust its strategies to ensure that it consistently delivers high-quality services.
“The Service Charter outlines 27 services rendered by the commission, ranging from the administrative functions such as general administration, procurement, training, and operational functions.
“The services also include investigation, prosecution, systems study and review, public enlightenment and education.
“The Charter also lists seven performance targets and timelines for some of the administrative functions such as acknowledgement of petitions and response to communications”, he said.
Aliyu said that those activities were tied to timelines, which the commission was under obligation to meet.
The ICPC boss said that the charter, however, acknowledged that some of the activities could not be tied to timelines.
He listed the services which timelines could not be provided with specific accuracy to include investigation of petitions, prosecution of cases, recovery of looted funds and benefits for petitioners and victims of corrupt activities.
He pledged the commission`s commitment to undertake, pursue, and deliver service with utmost commitment and intensity as reasonably expected.
