The head of Research at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KIPKTC) Dr. Kwesi Aning has challenged government to indicate which law backs the operations of the task fore established to retrieve state assets.
"We should know who they report to, which laws back them in their operations and many more. It will be better if the Task force is recognized and made visible to the general public," Dr. Aning said on Starr FM Monday.
Government has set up a task force to retrieve state properties, which they believe, are in private hands.
It follows the seizure of some vehicles belonging to NDC national organizer Kofi Adams by some state security officials.
However, the security expert stressed that government must disclose the identity of the membership of the task force and also have an identifiable office where individuals seeking to volunteer information can walk in.
According to him, such a move will bring transparency and decency to the work of the task force.
He added: “If the state suspects that its properties have been misappropriated, they must have procedures to retrieve them. Asking neighbors and ordinary people to help in providing information on the assets is a ‘no no’, because there are professionally trained state institutions who are capable of doing these things. Those who have in their Possession State properties should return them”.
