A political analyst who doubles as a financial engineer Mr. Alex Emmanuel Nti has indicated that corruption is still on the rise in the country because our leaders who are responsible for using the actions of the law seem to be using words in fighting the menace.
Speaking on Plan B FM’s late afternoon show EBAANOSEN hosted by Ohene Kinnah, he said Ghana has all the institutions like CHRAJ, EOCO, and OSP, NIB to fight the kanaka but nothing seems to be working.
“looking at the current happenings and the Auditor General’s report from previous years and how the covid 19 monies were spent is something people should have been penalized by now but all the perpetrators are walking free while the nation suffers, this has been the norm for years because it is believed that appointees appointed by the president into such institutions one way or the other work to favor their master ‘President’ but if all those appointed by the president pass through all the tanks before attaining they can work without favor” .he said
Meanwhile, the president of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi says massive uncontrolled corruption is suffocating Ghana.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2023 plenary assembly in the Sunyani Diocese on November 13, 2023, Rev. Gyamfi expressed concern over the country’s persistent impoverishment despite its status as an oil producer.
He emphasized the debilitating impact of uncontrolled corruption, stating that it seems to be pervasive and almost legalized.
Rev. Gyamfi raised critical questions about the efficacy of the current democratic system, which appears to benefit only a privileged few while leaving the majority of
the population behind.
Additionally, he pointed out the audacious impunity and arrogance displayed by some politicians in defending corrupt practices.
He took a dig at successive governments for the level of deterioration in the country as well as the surge in corruption.
“Both governments keep borrowing, and we are now in a deep financial crisis. Why are we in this economic and financial quagmire? The massive uncontrolled corruption is suffocating the nation. It appears corruption is legalized. What should Ghanaians do since the existing form of democracy helps only a few and leaves the majority behind? What about the impunity and arrogance of some politicians and their defense of corruption?”
“Should the constitution not be changed or bettered for it to work for all Ghanaians instead of for a few? Should the legal system not be re-equipped to uproot corruption? What about our Parliament where the interest of the people is sacrificed for personal and party interests? Why have we not implemented the findings of the Constitutional Review Committee?
”Can the governments explain to us why we are in this economic mess? What explanations can the two political parties give to Ghanaians for the unfavorable agreements we sign on our oil, minerals, power generation, etc.? Countries that have these resources in abundance are rich. Why do we remain poor? Ghanaians no longer accept the old explanations that the Governments of Ghana have been giving.”
