For argument's sake, if that number of politicians, let's say 10000, are responsible for 20% of corruption, that leaves over 20 million Ghanaians being responsible for the remaining 80%! And you call that only? Your choice of heading is wrong for the article.

Do you see how idiotic this guy is? He doesn't even realize that to have a corruption-free country, politicians have to be the first to stop it and then coercing it on everyone else.
This is how very stupid a Ghanaian is: starting a debate without real analysis of the subject in hand.
What any government could do to stop corruption is to indict every one corrupt official, very stringent and exemplary sanctions and seeing through the enforcement of such for a lengthy period of time.
Every corrupt government official creates hundred other corrupt people in the society. Ghana is a very disgusting state, and thinking of it alone makes you wish you come from somewhere else.
The most corrupt in the country who put us on the pedestal are all politicians and the salvation of the country can ONLY come from them.
We advised Mahama as to how to get even with the problem and we think at this time, he unfit as a president. He is useless.

Thanks Kwapps. There are some who always feel they need to justify everything that is wrong. This chap should take your advice and spend more time revising his basic mathematics. Shame.

Until we begin to question the source of people's wealth, corruption will continue to be a canker-worm in our society.

Informative article and everyone contributes to corruption, but the impact is different for everyone.
51% would be great, but you're not going to convince me that the politician's corrupt practices is just the same as a market woman being corrupt.
The small percentage of affluent being corrupt is more damaging. Someone with GHC100,000 being corrupt has a lot more influence than a driver trying to survive by being corrupt.

And that 20 percent of politicians is certainly a subjective opinion.

"They offer bribes everywhere especially at Tema and Takoradi harbours. Custom officials are bribed so that taxes are NOT paid to the proper authorities."
Please tell that official to spearhead the implementation of a new system whereby duties could be determined online and paid to the government's account by importers. As long as the old system remains, there will always be corruption at the Ports.
