The Executive Director of the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre, CISLAC/Transparency International (TI), Nigeria, Mallam Auwal Ibrahim Musa Rafsanjani, has called for improved and transparent funding for police in Nigeria.
He also urged institutions to ensure fiscal transparency.
Rafsanjani stated this at a workshop organised by CISLAC on fiscal transparency and improved welfare for criminal justice institutions. Rafsanjani, who was represented by CISLAC’s Programme Officer, Samuel Asimi, stated that “reports of police officers protesting non-payment of allowances in the past should be frowned at by all well-meaning Nigerians.”
According to him: “It is also important that the criminal justice institutions are transparent down to every kobo they receive. We cannot be seeking for more funding if these institutions do not judiciously use the little they currently receive.”
