Corruption Is All Over The Place … It doesn’t involve politicians alone -Prez

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has stated that it is not right to blame only politicians for corruption and that the canker is all over the place. According to him, it is not only headline corruption, the type that involves politicians and high-profile figures that retards progress and hinders development, but others as well.

The President said this on Thursday, July 13, 2023 when he opened the 2023 World Convention of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International, held in Accra.

President Akufo-Addo stated among other things that breaking rules and regulations, building without permit and bribing the police, all corrupt society.

“It is worth bearing in mind that it is not only the headline corruption, the type that involves politicians and high-profile figures that retards our progress and hinders our development.

“Indeed, it is about breaking rules and regulations in many aspects of our lives, wanting to and circumventing the laws that are meant to guide our society.

“It has to do with driving recklessly, breaking all the traffic regulations and trying to bribe the police officer when you are pulled up. It has to do with not getting the proper permit to build a house. It has to do with looking the other way when something wrong is going on.

“It has to do with the degradation of our environment and the pollution of our atmosphere and our water bodies. It has to do with petty bribery and corruption and it has to do with bribery and corruption on a grand scale,” he stated.
