Reconciliation process not a vendetta - President

President John Agyekum Kufuor said on Thursday that the nation's reconciliation process should be conducted with great care and circumspection so that it would only lead to the establishment of a better future for the nation, and not to settle old scores or re-open old wounds, says state own daily, 'The Ghanaian Times'.

He gave the assurance that the National Reconciliation Committee to be set up for the purpose, would be mindful of this in its work to avoid revenge and vendetta. President Kufuor was responding to a suggestion contained in a document presented to him by a delegation of the Muslim leadership across the country, who called on him at the State House in Accra.

The document touched on national reconciliation, as well as other topical issues of national concern, and matters affecting the general progress of the Muslim population in the country. The delegation was jointly led by the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, and the Ameer and Missionary in-charge of the Ghana, Maulvi A. Wahab Adam.

The President said that the necessary resources would be mobilized to fight corruption on a massive scale, adding that the government considered the war against corruption as a necessity. "Corruption," the President said, "distorts everything that is beautiful in social life".
