The Debt Management Office (DMO) has vowed to deal with any of its staff responsible for leaking official documents.
According
to a statement issued Saturday evening, the DMO said it “will brief
relevant security agencies in the country to thoroughly investigate the
sources of the documents”.
The reason for involving security
agencies, the DMO said, is “with a view to bringing the perpetrators to
book in line with Public Service Rules No. 030401 and 030402, which
prescribes dismissal for unauthorised disclosure of official information
as a serious act of misconduct”.
Vanguard newspaper had run a
story titled “Alleged N1.08bn corruption scandal hits DMO”. Reacting to
the story, the DMO said “the sponsors of the story are disgruntled
elements who have not only breached the Civil Service Rules but have
also contravened laid down procedures for dealing with official
matters”.
It went on to state that “these officials have resorted
to illegally leaking official documents due to their recent
redeployment; have colluded with other disgruntled persons who have
failed in their attempts to control the running of the affairs of the
DMO, which has blocked their ability to pilfer public funds”.
The
DMO added that “the story referred to documents that, on their own, are
incomplete and do not reflect the whole story or the purpose of any
transaction”.
DMO denied claims that events and travels by
officials of the DMO either did not take place or did not hold as “false
and an attempt to discredit the impeccable records of the organisation.
These speak to their desperation to give the institution a bad name”.
The
nation’s debt managers described itself as “an accountable, transparent
and responsible organisation that works in accordance with laid down
civil service procedures”.
It noted that “it is highly regarded by multilateral agencies and financial institutions as a reputable government agency”.
The
Vanguard report, the DMO lamented, has “been twisted and distorted with
the intention to misinform the general public and discredit the
institution.
