The move   was to ensure transparency as well as improve coordination in the furtherance of the National Anti Corruption Action Plan (NACAP). Other institutions who have partnered the commission include The Parliament of Ghana, Office of the Attorney-General and Ministry of   Justice, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), The Ghana Audit Service, the Financial Intelligence Center (FIC), the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI), Ghana Police Service and the Office of the Special Prosecutor.

Speaking at the official signing ceremony, the Deputy Commissioner of CHRAJ, Mr Richard Quayson, said that corruption was a major threat to national development, security and also undermined the capacity of the state and its institutions to function efficiently.
The lack of co-ordination and collaboration between the KAIs, Mr Quayson stated, had to some extent, weakened the potential for instituting a culture for transparency and accountability in public life.

NACAP had therefore identified that a collaboration among Anti-Corruption Agencies  is key in    conducting efficient investigations and the prosecution of corrupt conduct .

He noted that the MoU would promote the exchanges of information, foster better understanding and co-operation among the KAIs. It would also promote synergy and better co-ordination of activities among the KAIs, enhance the capacity of KAIs to address challenges of emerging methods of corruption and crime and minimize the potential for mandate overlaps.

Mr Joesph Akanjolenur Whittal, Commissioner for CHRAJ said that the MoU would help to bring together synergies  between collaborating institutions mandated under law to fight corruption. He said that the only way for these institutions to fight corruption and crime was to work together. He urged them not to ignore the MoU after it takes effect stating that " we have no excuse to fail Ghanaians".

The Executive Director for   EOCO, Commissioner of Police, Mr Frank Adu-Poku ( rtd)       pledged  EOCO’s support to the initiative noting that they were ready to exchange information with the institutions involved.

Also present were the Executive Secretary for the Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) , Mr Francis Kofi Torkornoo; Chief Executive Officer for Financial Intelligence Center, Mr Kwaku Dua ;   Member of Parliament (MP) for OforiKrom in the Ashanti Region, Dr Emmanuel Marfo;   MP for Tamale North in the Northern Region, Alhassan Suhuyini; MP for Offinso South Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Ben Abdallah Banda as well as other representatives from other institutions.
