  • BJ 11 years ago

    whose responsibility is it to alleviate corruption in the public sectors? We are all guilty of it. From education ministry to whatever, corruption is apparent but we all refuse to help arrest the evil practice.

  • Kofi 11 years ago

    It takes leadership to arrest corruption. Until we have leaders who are ready to lead, nothing much can be achieved.

    You're right.

    He chose to do away with the foundation that the good Professor laid. The whole thing stems from poor ministerial appointments from the onset.

    Since you cannot manage the taxes we already pay, what gives you the right to tax us more. It is incumbent on you to manage our present resources well, before thinking about new taxes.

    For the first time Mr. Pratt is talking sense.I do agree with you 100%. What the NDC is doing is destroying the country.But whom do I blame? The people of Ghana as they voted them into power.
