They are talking about corruption as if they are just seeing it. When it was the order of the day 10 years ago, where were these Charlatans?

These ndc thieves are not making gains. Instead they are stealing what they came to meet. Don't you guys remember they said nothing is left but bones? If they were making gains, there would have been some meat left.

Legal corruption is the handy work of the elite. They are the ones coming out with all forms of corruption to suck the Treasury dry. A case in point is Alfred Agbesi Woyome. How can a single individual be that brave to dip his hands deep into "our pocket" without the aid of some educated elite including Barton Oduro who still insist that Woyome is entitled to the money?

Playing lip service won't help.

Start prosecuting the ruling elites who are more corrupt than anything the word "corrupt" itself conveys.

People will start taking you seriously then.

Any government that makes the attempt to combat corruption in Ghana will fail unless it is committed to eradicating the disease. Clearly, the current government is not committed, it is only paying lip-service. Legislation alone will not effective without commitment from those whose duty it is carry out the law - the police force and the courts are all corrupt to the core. So commitment to fight corruption should be at the centre of the next general election.

Civil servants, police, politicians, mechanics, builders, pastors are all rotten. My apologies to any honest ones out there.

It's very difficult to encourage the general populous to stop accepting bribes when they see it clearly at the highest level. It's a vicious circle that only a transparent government can remove..

Corruption comes in many shades and forms but we may never know. For example is it not corruption that motivates our tribal and political party loyalties? Is our electoral process not a form of corruption if voters are to vote on party lines and not for people well vested to represent all Ghanaians? Is it not corruption that influences political party appointments? Preferences without principled basis is the kind of corruption that allows political parties to show appreciation to its members by granting them government jobs even when they are unqualified and unfit for the very positions conferred unto them knowing there are members in the opposition party well suited for those posts. After all unqualified and untrained political appointees based on party loyalties do lead to people looking the other way as evil and misdeeds are done in the name of party and the nation.
