Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde yesterday forwarded the Oyo State Anti-Corruption Bill 2019 to the House of Assembly, declaring that his decision to set up an anti-graft body was in fulfilment of his campaign promise.
Makinde, who formally presented a copy of the draft bill to his Special Adviser on Legislative Matters, Samuel Adejumobi, for onward transmission to the assembly, restated his resolve to waive his immunity to appear before the anti-graft agency, if found wanting.
A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, indicated that the governor also charged permanent secretaries to be accountable as the purse-keepers of the state.
