The founder and leader of the All People’s Congress, Dr Hassan Ayariga has called President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his government not to dwell too much on the Special Prosecutor in fighting corruption in Ghana because the fight against corruption is bigger than the special prosecutor.
He said we cannot fight corruption under capitalism system of governance, ideologically it breads corruption. We will need to be each other’s keeper in order to fight corruption”
According to him, the problem of corruption is the winner takes all systems of government that has allowed everyone to think that once his party comes to power he/she must be rich.
He noted that, corruption is not only about bribes. Government loses greatly and development is very slow and expensive when we engage in corruption, we need to put in place relevant institutions and task them to deliver according to their abilities and resources.
He continued that, government should educate citizens on different types of corruption. It is so important to understand the different kinds of corruption to develop smart responses.
Mr Ayariga made this assertion when he addressed the media on the true state of corruption in the country at the party’s headquarters, Haatso in Accra.
