Everyone is corrupt because we all contribute one way or the other, directly or indirectly to the menace of corruption. What do we do then, where do we start from?
Fighting corruption should be a trickle down approach. It has to start with the leadership at the top. This is the essence of having leaders. When they have purged themselves completely of corruption then they are qualified to lead and, we, those at the bottom, will follow their lead. It's said that when the head moves the rest of the body follows.
Leadership by example is more effective and efficient, more powerful than the hand of dictators. If the leaders can not and are unwilling to lead then why do we need such leaders? They are good for nothing and must be rejected outright by the people.
Corruption is often started and spread by the few at the top. Their corruption creates hardships for the people and the people's solution? If you can't beat them, you join them. This is how corruption spreads. If the leadership can't provide the solutions to stop corruption then the people must use their only resource, their vote, to boot out all corrupt leaders from power. The people must be wise and strong.

YOU ARE RIGHT! A CULTURE OF ANTI-CURRUPTION MUST START FROM PRESIDENTS, AND HIS/HER VISION OF ANTI CORRUPTION MUST BE THE LAW, MUST BE ADHERED TO AND MINISTERS & LEADERS MUST MAKE SURE IT TRICKLES DOWN. THERE WOULD BE PEOPLE HIRED TO TEST THE SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE ITS CORRUPTION FREE. APART FROM LATE, GREAT DR KWAME NKRUMAH SUBSEQUENT PRESIDENTS OF GHANA AND MOST OF AFRICA'S PRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN/ARE CORRUPT. GHANA AND AFRICA'S PRESIDENST NEED TO OVERHAUL THE CORRUPT USELESS UNPROGRESSIVE SYSTEMS IN ALL PLACES. THESE NONSENSICAL SYSTEMS KEEPS AFRICA POOR & TRULY BACKWARD, AND IGNORANT WHILE THE DEVELOPED WORLD KEEPS IMPROVING, AND GETTING EVEN MORE EFFICIENT. EG. LAND OWNERSHIP IS SOOO PROBLEMATIC WITH SALE TO MORE THAN ONE OWNER. SOLUTION? BANKS SHOULD BUY THE LAND FROM CHIEFS OR OWNERS, REGISTER THEM AT A CORRUPTION FREE OFFICE/ WEBSITE SET BY THE STATE. YOU BUY THE LAND FROM THE BANK, THE BANK GIVES YOU DOCUMENTS, AN AFFIDAVIT IS SIGNED BY THE LEGAL OFFICE OF THE BANK AND U TAKE THESE DOCUMENTS TO THE LANDS DEPARTMENT TO REGISTER IT, LANDS DEPT TAKES YOU TO THE PLOT, DEMACATES IT FOR U. DONE! ORGANIZATION OF AFRICAN UNION. OAU OUR PRESIDENT JOHN MAHAMA IS THE CHAIRMAN, WHY IS THE OAU WATCHING PREZ OF MOKABI OF ZIMBABWE STILL IN POWER FOR 30YEARS! BUKINA FASO'S PRESIDENT WANTED TO CHANGE CONSTITUTION SO HE WOULD BE IN POWER FOR 10 MORE YEARS? HIS MINISTERS WOULD HAVE AGREED WITH HIM BECAUSE THEY WOULD STILL BE RECEIVING BRIBES. OAU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUPERVISE THE AFFAIRS OF ITS MEMEBERS OTHERWISE WHAT IS THE USE OF THE OAU? AFRICA NEEDS TRUE LEADERS THAT ARE SELFLESS WITH A CORRUPTION FREE MENTALITY. THE RESOURCES OF GHANA AND AFRICA BELONGS TO ITS CITIZENS! AFRICA NEEDS LEADERS THAT WOULD SAY THAT TO ITS PEOPLE! CORRUPTION OF EVERY SERVICE IN AFRICA WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUR DOWNFALL IF WE DO NOT FIX IT FOR GOOD! AFRICANS NEED TRUE LEADERS WITH A SELFLESS VISION FOR AFRICA! AFRICA HAS THE MOST NATURAL RESOURCES YET BECAUSE OF GREED OF OUR LEADERS MAJORITY OF OUR POPULATION ARE ILLETERATE, IGNORANT, CHILDREN AS STREET HAWKERS SELLING
FOOD ETC ON STREETS OF GHANA AND AFRICA, INEFFICIENCY AND CUMBERSOME SYSTEMS OF EVERY PROCESS ONE NEEDS IN DAY TO DAY ACTIVITES, SPEED RAMPS WITH NO YELLOW LINES ACROSS IT, BAD ROADS, FLOODING WHEN IT RAINS BECAUSE OF NO WASTE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS,LIGHT OFF, WATER SHORTAGE, LACK OF FREE EDUCATION DESPITE OUR ABUNDANT RESOUCES, POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE THEY WANT BRIBES. BANK TELLERS WANTING BRIDES AFTER YOUR TRANSACTION, POLICEMEN IN GHANA WANTING BRIBE BECAUSE ONE OF MY HEADLIGHT WAS OUT, PASSPORT OFFICE IN RIDGE,ACCRA IS THE MOST HOSTILE AND UNFRIENDLY OFFICE IN THE WHOLE OF ACCRA. WHY SHOULD TRYING TO GET A PASSPORT BE SOOO DIFFICULT? DECENTRALIZATION OF OFFICES IN OTHER PARTS OF GHANA IS A MUST. SOO MANY UNIVERSITY GRADUATES YET THE ECONOMIST ARE NOT UTILIZING THEIR SKILLS. A LOT OF THEM ARE UNEMPLOYRD. NO EFFICIENT EFFECTIVE TAXATION SYSTEM! WHAT ARE THE ECONOMIST DOING IN GHANA AND AFRICA!? PRESIDENTS AND LEADERS OF AFRICA ERADICATE CORRUPTION FOR GOOD! GREED FOR THE FEW WILL MAKE YOU MISERABLE AN UNHAPPY! AFRICA'S RESOURCES BELONGS TO ITS CITIZENS! REMEMBER THAT! FREE EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN IS A MUST! KEEPING THE MAJORITY POOR WILL KEEP AFRICA POOR AND THE REST OF THE WORLD WILL NOT RESPECT US! REMEMBER RESOURCES OF AFRIAC BELONGS TO ALL ITS CITEZENS! THE RESOURCES IS PERSONAL PROPERTIES OF PRESIDENTS AND THEIR MINISTERS! WE ARE ALL TIRED OF BEING TIRED OF AFRICA'S CORRUPT LEADERS! AFRICA NEEDS A TRANSPARENT DEMOCRACY! IT IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD!

If we want to change, should we not change our voting patters? Instead to vote for the person, we think, would be the best to "dash me", the best patron, should we not vote for the person, who has shown credibility, shown modersty?
That is our responsibility!
If we ask everybody else to change, nothing will get done. Doesn't real change start from within?
