Activist Okiya Omtatah has petitioned the High Court to freeze an account at Stanbic Bank operated by Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC) saying it is a personal account used to handle public funds.
In a certificate of urgency, Mr Omtatah says he is apprehensive that the large sums of public funds, which have been deposited in the account are exposed since the account is not subject to checks and balances in law, which govern public accounts to safeguard public money.
