Francis Munu said this is because the President’s claims were well researched from both his formal and informal sources of information. He was responding to President Koroma’s indictment on the police and other public institutions for corrupt practices and their roles in aiding criminal financial activities. AIG Munu however said addressing such cases was not the responsibility of the police alone. He accused banking institutions, the Government Gold and Diamond Office and hotels of abating money laundering activities in the country. He said under the money laundering Act, financial institutions were supposed to report to the police suspicious fraudulent transactions and not to discharge money beyond a specific amount to their customers. Mr. Munu said in a bid to minimize corruption within the police force, they had reduced the number of checkpoints and redeployed their officers countrywide. Two week ago, President Koroma heavily criticised the police, the Immigration Department and other public institutions of corrupt activities and aiding criminal activities. The President accused the Immigration Department of “selling” passports to foreign nationals.
