Put it more correctly. It is not becoming an institution but has already become one.
THE ISSUE OF CORRUPTION STARTS FROM OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM WHERE THE NATURE OF UNACCOUNTABLE CAMPAIGN FUNDS MAKES IT EASY FOR CONTRIBUTORS TO THE CAMPAIGN TO HAVE THEIR WAY WHEN THEIR SIDE WINS
In Thief Kuffour's time, he said he would not expose corrupt acts in order to destroy HIS PARTY. Today, we have a President who truly wants to uproot corruption so all manner of actions are being taken and for this reason all ...

Be real? Mahama is a clueless and a naive person who does not understand what's going on around him. See Ghana and ask yourself if Ghana truly is succeeding. Our system is choked with false pretenders who are called our leade ...

No group of human beings will come together in the name of whatever to rob their country in the way P/NDC group of civilian and security personnel have done to Ghana. For 25 years, a small group of people have used their poli ...

Culture of corruption in Ghana is deep seated regardless of the party in power. This will continue except the next Military take-over comes up to clean the mess. Go figure!
Yes, our culture of rewarding incompetence is second to none...shame the Gov't of the so called ORDINARY PEOPLE turn out to be the most corrupt
Mr Short I cant agreed with you more. There should be some stiff punishment to any body found guilty of misusing public money.Govt must eschew those partisan involvement and let the legal system deals with the culprits.
The legal system itself is corrupt so who checks who and who punishes who? Why should Woyome's case still be pending in court? After how many years?? I have lost count.
your image are distracting and is a turn to your site
what are you trying to say, mate?
Kojo, I'm clueless, exactly what are u trying to say?
The image of short is a turn off
This happens when the President himself is corrupt and a liar.
Our democracy has enabled us to report on corruption fearlessly. There may be an increase in CURRUPTION but reporting of incidences have increased exponentially.
My friend, how did you know reporting has increased. What are basing this on
The ONLY TOPIC in Ghana now is CORRUPTION,CORRUPTION and CORRUPTION and WHY the white collar thieves are NOT being severly punished....IS ANYBODY'S GUESS!!!!!!!
