With the bill, sponsored by the executive arm, the state government is expected to follow it up with the establishment of an anti-corruption agency primarily tasked with investigation and prosecution of state government officials and registered contractors indicted for economic crime and financial misappropriation.
Section 13(3) of the law says, “The Commission shall upon the commencement of this Law take over the investigation of all Anti-Corruption and Financial Crimes cases involving the finances and assets of Lagos State Government being investigated by any other Agency.”
Section 13(5) also says, “The Commission shall have power to the exclusion of any other Agency or body to investigate and coordinate the investigation of corruption and financial crime cases involving the finances and assets of the State Government.”
