Nana Addo Promises �Anas Principle� To Fight Corruption

The 2012 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party has indicated his readiness to differently fight corruption through, among other things, the introduction of the �Anas principle� to create a new culture of fear for corrupt practices.

This principle, Nana Addo says, will infest the disciples of corruption with fear and paranoia �in that you may never know that the person you are giving the bribe to or receiving it from may be an undercover agent.�

Shedding more light on this principle, Nana Addo explained that his administration would establish a special anti-corruption squad, made up of some of the best young talents, well-trained, well-paid, well-disciplined, with the licence to root out corruption from every nook and cranny of the Ghanaian public life.

Although admitting that this proposal may be controversial, the NPP flagbearer remained resolute in his conviction, through the use of this means, in fighting against institutionalised corruption and actively arrest and prosecute corruption. This, according to Nana Addo, was needed so as to remove the hold that corruption has on our institutions and our development.

The NPP flagbearer also promised to introduce stiffer punishments for corruption �to make the theft of state funds more expensive for the criminal than the stealing of a goat.�

Nana Akufo-Addo has been a major campaigner against corruption in the Ghanaian public, despite the desperate attempts of the ruling National Democratic Congress� attempts to tag him with acts of corruption, which have so far yielded no fruits.

The �Anas principle� is based on the mode of investigation used by one of Africa�s ace investigative journalists, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who through undercover investigations has unearthed acts of corruption in almost every Ghanaian state institution.

Nana Addo also used the opportunity to urge the Ghanaian electorate to, in December, rid Ghana of the leadership paralysis that has engulfed the nation under the leadership of President Mills, adding that the Mills administration �must not exist a minute longer than the four years the people and Constitution granted the NDC, in all innocence, in 2008.�

�We need change now to move Ghana forward. We cannot waste four more years under this government of lies, propaganda, hypocrisy, incompetence, corruption and economic hardships. The people want jobs; not juju politics that create 1.6 million phantom jobs and turn sheep into cows, sod cuttings into Action Year and judgment debts into gargantuan crimes,� Nana Addo charged.

Nana Addo stated that �Mills and Mahama have not worked and will not work� and further urged Ghanaians to �say together to the current custodians of power that the days of empty rhetoric are over. No more lip action. Enough is enough.�
