A former Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Professor Stephen Adei has stated that Ghanaians have come to cope with the situation where?corrupt individuals, who call themselves honorable men, are on daily basis being hailed.
This, he indicated is affecting the fight and the desire to fight corruption.
He explained that the fight against corruption is being impeded because ?those who are dishonourable are called honourables.?
He made this observation when he spoke?during the launch of a book,?Taming a Monster, authored by former Korle-Bu Chief Executive, Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng..
He also mentioned that the people of Ghana cannot build a better society on that basis when about 70 percent of all those who call themselves honourable are totally dishonourable.
“……. and these are the people whom we must hold accountable,? he said.
?Our leaders spend their holidays abroad and they save their money in Switzerland and other places so Dubai and other things have become their new havens. They are buying flats in the deserts! Are your grandchildren going to live in those flats?? he asked.
He also added that the backward movement of Ghana largely depends on the high level of corruption in Government institutions and that until people stand and fight the act of corruption, Ghana will not see any better development and growth.
