The Executive Director of the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC), has urged activists and individuals to view the fight against corruption as a fundamental patriotic obligation.
According to her, as the fight against corruption gains momentum, residents should be urged to continue their efforts and support the desired change in behaviour.
At a stakeholder meeting in Ho with a few chosen Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) from the Volta Region.
The Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition’s (GACC) Executive Secretary, Mrs Beauty Emefa Narteh, urged people to be ready to reframe the conversation about corruption.
She insisted that we should approach the fight against corruption personally.
Mrs. Narteh argued that the fight against corruption needs devoted champions to drive the change and urged everyone to make personal sacrifices on the way to an integrity-based society.
The conference, which was a part of the GACC’s “Regional CSOs Dialogue on Corruption,” covered the government’s response to suggested changes to the nation’s anti-corruption system.
The Coalition’s two-year project, “Building evidence for Increased Accountability in Ghana Through a Multi-Stakeholder Accountability Initiative,” which started in October 2020 and was financed by the Hewlett Foundation, includes the regional discussions.
The Asset Declaration Bill, which is now before Parliament and was deemed weak by the CSOs, was one of the key points of worry.
Other significant discussions focused on the 1992 Constitution review, the opaque financing of political parties, and the handling of the disability fund.
The stakeholders also talked about difficulties with local assembly revenue, MMDCE elections, and a lack of comprehension of government protocol.
