Forensic Audit:
*Kwara Must Change urges govt to charge all indicted individuals to court immediately*

_Says prosecution, not indictment will deliver justice_

A leading Pro-democracy group, Kwara Must Change has urged the Kwara State government to charge all those indicted in the recently submitted forensic audit to court, so that they can have fair opportunity to respond to specific allegations leveled against them in the damning report.

Kwara Must Change also said that, the indictment of various individuals in the report will amount to nothing, if they are not charged to court immediately.

In a statement by the Convener of Kwara Must Change, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, the group explained that, the engagement of forensic auditors to investigate various allegations leveled against officials of the past administration by different committee's set up by government is an indication that the Kwara State government is not on witch hunting mission.

According to Hamzat, several committee's set up by the Abdulrazaq Abdulrahman led administration has indicted several individuals in the past administration, but instead of acting solely on the indictment of those committee's, the government choose to delay action, subjecting it's own committee's indictment to further forensic audit, so as to ensure that no one is being indicted without any evidence or out of sheer dislike or malice.

"Since 2019, immediately after the otoge administration came on board, many have called on the government to prosecute officials of past government indicted in various reports, but for reasons best known to them which is now glaring to all, they choose to subject those reports to forensic audit to ensure no one is being wrongly alleged"

Hamzat maintained that, the government willingness to wait for independent forensic audit, after several of its own committee's had indicted the past administration is a progressive virtue, which should be applauded.

Speaking on the forensic audit report, Kwara Must Change is of the view that, government no longer have any excuse to delay prosecution and it urged government to charge the concerned individuals to court with immediate effect.

"Now that the forensic audit is out, giving details of the various allegations, it is now time for the government to charge those indicted to court without any delay". Hamzat said.
