Everyone is stealing because there are no checks and balances in the system. Reform the system to check corruption and the stealing will reduce.

this is the first time in 33 years in Ghana i hear a true sensible statement about corruption
in Ghana politicians only exist because of some civil servants they dont care about pndc ndc npp cpp and others because they know that once in power they will need the civil servant to prepare the contracts and the chop and when troubles come the one paying will be the minister not them because they will run to their trade unions and cry it is not me it is them they victimize me what an hypocrisy
so now the eyes are starting to open let sack the corrupted civil servants and ask them how have they been able to buy all those properties and wealth
and the TUC defends the ones who denounce corruption and stop protecting the choppers

I totally agree with Kennedy that civil servants are the most corrupt group of Ghanaians in the country.Civil servants own palatial houses ,expensive cars ,businesses,etc,etc.How much are they paid to own such properties?I blame previous governments for allowing such a state of affair to exist without any attempt being made to tackle it.Even Auditor General's reports are not acted upon.It is the dishonesty of pubic servants that the country is not progressing.At least half of the monies allocated for the running of public institutions is stolen..

Some civil servants are paid well especially those with professional accounting qualifications like CIMA, ICA, or ACCA.

HATS OFF TO MR. AGYEPONG. THIS IS THE TRUTH. IF YOUR REQUEST IS DELAYING IN THE OFFICE YOU SENT IT, YOU MIGHT THINK IT IS THE MINISTER THAT IS DELAYING OR NOT APPROVING IT, YOU ARE MISTAKEN. IT IS THE CIVIL SERVANT WAITING TO BE PAID. UNTIL MOST OF THESE CIVIL SERVANTS ARE NOT ONLY SACKED BUT SENT TO JAIL, CORRUPTION IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS WILL NOT STOP TOMORROW.

Your foolishness will always judge you a fool in the eyes of all rational people with the exception of the people from your village and the Ashanti dominated NPP inward looking people who are very onesided in all political issues in our Ghana.

How come that now you see that civil servants are more corrupt than the politicians? This comment potrays and talks about your childish actions in our politics. Are you hypocrate, and that you could not say it earlier for the goodness of Ghana or because of ur Assin villageous nature? What are you and your so called politicians doing about what you stated about the civil servants? Foolish politicians who deceive the voters with political fallacies that leads to nowhere.

Look at the mess going on at the Tema port with customs officers becoming rich over night, that you, the foolish politicians can not handle or check them, and thus had made the custom guys to be richer than even an average politician. Continue with your foolshness and all in Ghana who care will see how stupid you are in the political arena.
