In reaction to pockets of protest that rocked the delisting of 513 ex-militants who were linked to multiple monthly payments fraud, the new management of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) says it is willing to conduct a verification exercise for genuine beneficiaries whose names were omitted from the payroll in the month of October and November 2022.
In a statement issued in Yenagoa, the Interim Administrator of the PAP, Major General Barry Tariye Ndiomu (rtd), said that the decision of the body to pay stipends to all genuinely verified delegates is aimed at repositioning the scheme for optimum performance.
Ndiomu stated that the details of the proposed verification exercises which will take place at various locations in the Niger Delta region will be announced in due course.
He explained that the PAP is committed to the highest standards of transparency and accountability in the interest of the ex-agitators and stakeholders at large.
It would be recalled that external and internal auditors contracted by the Amnesty Office recently uncovered a massive payroll fraud in PAP, exposing an individual who was said to be receiving stipends of 33 persons through fraudulent means.
