The Kwara Youth Coalition has backed the demand for an independent audit of the Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP), as called for by NDC candidate Prof. Abdulmumin Yinka Ajia. The coalition, in a statement, emphasized the need for full transparency regarding the agency's financial operations. This includes annual appropriations, actual fund releases, expenditure records, administrative costs, and outstanding balances.
The group pointed out that the level of opacity surrounding KWASSIP is troubling, particularly as the agency's Director General was unable to account for the total funds received. The coalition warned that the era of unaccountability in Kwara State is coming to an end and threatened to investigate and prosecute any misuse of public funds.
They called on anti-corruption agencies to commence preliminary investigations into the allegations surrounding KWASSIP operations.
