Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Stephen Amoah has stated that he has zero tolerance for corruption.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Tuesday, Mr Amoah stated that due to his position on corruption, he will not interfere in the audit process in the company.
“I am not an angel but it will be hard for me or any other hard working person to embezzle state funds. So I was never interested in the audit and procurement process of the company until I was told I could be held liable if things go wrong because I’m the head.”
