3.6.2 The Administration believes firmly that the essence of government is the promotion of the welfare and well being of the Nigerian people. To ensure that political office holders operate within the ambit of the law and that corruption is reduced to the barest minimum, the transformation agenda of the present Administration focuses on Good Governance. Within the review period, Government and relevant agencies put up the following mechanisms to check the excesses of political actors as well as vigorously prosecute the war against corruption:  expansion of the mandate of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) in order to enhance performance in curtailing recklessness in the use of public funds;  signing into law of the amended electoral Act, to serve as a guide and empower the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC);  pegging the amount individuals are allowed to donate at electioneering campaigns at a maximum of one million Naira and the maximum amount any contender to a public office can spend on election campaigns. This measure has impacted positively on the electoral system as there was noticeable reduction in electoral fraud and vote buying during the April 2011 General Elections;  Intensification of security during political campaigns and elections which reduced thuggery and political killings considerably.  Government adopted a policy of non interference in the prosecution of corrupt officers by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Offences 26
