The Dutch Ambassador to Ghana Ron Strikker has clarified recent comments he made on Ghana beyond Corruption widely published by the media.
In a statement, Ambassador Strikker expressed regret that some media houses have suggested that he called the Ghana beyond aid agenda to be replaced by a Ghana beyond Corruption Agenda.
”Nothing could be further from the truth. The Netherlands has been and will be a staunch supporter of the Ghana beyond Aid Agenda initiated by President Nana Dankwa Akufo-Addo in 2017” he said.
He said all efforts by government and civil society in Ghana to stamp out corruption are part and parcel of the Ghana Beyond Aid Agenda adding that Netherlands was also committed to support the efforts of Ghana to fight corruption, including some support to civil society organizations such as the Ghana Integrity Initiative.
”I hope this will help the determined efforts of government and civil society to fight corruption which is a core element of the Ghana beyond Aid Agenda,” the statement ended.

I am sure the vindictive president had probably called to ensure him a warning, hence this bogus clarification.
Ghanaians do not like to hear the truth at any time! The truth is that success in any effort takes one percent inspiration and ninety nine person hard work and perseverance. The country's President has provided the inspiration by aspiring to "Ghana beyond corruption", and "Ghana beyond aid". Those things are not going to happen by magic, or by antoa or mammy water. It's going to take time and dedication to the objective. As a people, we are hopelessly corrupt. Everybody in the society engages in forms of graft, corruption, extortion and simple stealing. To facilitate all that malfeasance, we lie on a huge scale. Bankers do it, lawyers do it, medical doctors do it, nurses do it, university professors and lecturers do it, students do it, traders do it, chiefs do it. What the ambassador said, is true. It is up to us to change our circumstances
We all heard what he said... what is there to clarify? He didn't speak Dutch?
In fact Ghana beyond corruption should be championed first before all other measures can be successful. I agree with the ambassador.
Nana Addo and Npp can never be tag with corruption and scandals all what ndc are doing is throwing dust to the people of Ghana because ghanians believe that it is only him nana can fight against corruption in ghana and not mahama who was bribed and accepted car gift nana will never, never do that
