The Auditor-General Daniel Domelovo has challenged Ghanaians to join the fight against corruption despite the dangers associated with it.

The no nonsense man said although it was more dangerous to fight corruption because it involves exposing oneself to danger, it would more dangerous to recuse to fight corruption due to the damages associated with it.

“We need to fight corruption not because fighting corruption is an easy thing, I usually say fighting corruption is dangerous. Anyone who fights corruption is exposing himself to danger. And corruption will fight you back any day in whatever form it can. So that’s why many people, don’t like to fight corruption because they don’t want the fight that corruption will bring to them. But it is more dangerous not to fight corruption because it will finish us. So when you weigh what happens if we fight corruption as against our fight against corruption I think we have to fight corruption”, he said.

He was speaking at the OccupyGhana vrs Attorney-General Anniversary where Ghana’s Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia was also present as the guest speaker.

The Vice President at the event maintained that fighting corruption is just like fighting ‘demons and principalities’ and though it cannot be eradicated, corruption can be curtailed.

“I made a statement that when you’re fighting corruption it’s almost like fighting demons and principalities. that it keeps coming back. When you think you’ve even killed it, it will raise its head again.”
