Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 46463, member: 636"] The Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition held a training event in Tamale focused on recovering stolen assets. Money from the Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa paid for the workshop. Journalists from the Northern Region attended alongside civil society groups. The training taught people about legal ways to take back money from criminals. Officials want citizens to support efforts that fight corruption. Solomon Nyanka works as a monitoring officer for the coalition. He said the project builds support for asset recovery programs. Ghana loses large amounts of money to illegal activities each year. Media outlets should give civil society groups chances to teach the public. Nyanka asked reporters to keep watching government officials closely. Yvette Anthea Owusu represents the Financial Intelligence Centre. She talked about how Ghana tracks dirty money. The center works to find suspicious financial activities across the country. Media groups and civil society organizations help spot illegal actions. Citizens who stay alert help official agencies do their jobs better. Benjamin Ndego spoke for the Economic and Organized Crime Office. His agency investigates financial crimes and prosecutes criminals. He told journalists to write accurate and truthful reports. The office wants to work with reporters to explain their mission. Media coverage must follow proper legal guidelines. The project will last three months and visit five regions. Tamale joins Koforidua, Sekondi-Takoradi and Accra as training locations. Workshop leaders want to teach media professionals and activists. These groups will then educate citizens about fighting corruption. Participants promised to hold government agencies accountable. [/QUOTE]
