  Nobody can fight corruption in Ghana. Its is part of the DNA that the white man gave us which has been perfected by our own ingenuity. As administrators, the white man looted everything in the plain sight of the black servant. Now that the master is not around, the servant will do the same. JJ killed, maimed, threatened every one with curfew and instant death only to see his folly after his workers (PVS,Ahwois, Tsikatas etc,)had enrich themselves. If instant death did not scare us, what is next?

  congratulations CJ, finally those with moral integrity muster the courage to face down these ndc pepeni and ayigbe criminals that oppress us Akans in our own country. pepeni has thwarted justice so many times since the time before he murdered mills right down to rigging the elections with those prejudiced against the Akans. we Akans will fight this ewe hegemony and pepeni tribalism with our nationalism awakening and patriotism . there is no more partisan politics rather strictly tribalism led by these pepeni toilet carriers and their lying homicidal ayigbe criminal allies . very soon the land of the Akans will be free and we shall leave them to themselves . we shall see how happy these ewes are when pepeni decides to rule them by force or how the Gas will feel when only pepeni or ayigbe idiots rule them . today all can predict the actions of the ndc just by looking at things through the prism of tribalism, short changing the cocoa farmers , adding taxes to burden the Akans since these useless pepefuo produce nothing . deny free education to the south as it is a bad thing for the Akans only good for toilet carriers and the list is endless. these ndc have no shame as they have no conscience and are nothing but the children of the devil that need to be set on fire through war or revolution . long live the republic of Akan

  Its the NPP moles and double agents out to soil the clean image of Mahama's govt that are doing all this corruption.If they couldn't topple Mahama in the supreme court they figured they'd do it thru corruption.

  The seed of corruption sowed in the castle is now bearing fruit for all to see. President Mahama is not the Adam in whose turn corruption has started with kickbacks.

  To fight a war the enemy must be visible, thus Rockson Adofo let us not turn corruption into a mirage, modern days we call them weapons of mass destruction that never was.

  Contrary to my better judgement, I am compelled to come back to this site because because like they say, evil triumphs when good decides to stand aloof.
  
  It is mind boggling to read day in day out about calls for either President Mahama to fight corruption or his inability to fight corruption.
  
  Corruption is not like an outbreak of a disease when a medical component can be deployed to stem it. Corruption is set of activities between more than one person where both benefit in varying ways to the detriment of the larger society. So to combat it needs the input of the whole society. Unfortunately corruptible activities do not occur in the glare of the public but the ramifications always affect the society. If an importer decides to reduce the value of his imports with the connivance of the Customs official, the two will benefit from (1)the importer paying less duties (2) the Customs official gaining from the kickback, but (3)the State ultimately loses out as it is denied the exact amount that would have flowed into its coffers. Corruption takes varying forms and proportions and to counter them needs the input of the whole society and not one individual alone.
  
  In most countries scourges that go to undermine the very fabric of society are fought covertly and overtly. Overtly through sting operations take for example the state through its law enforcement agents entrapping those who will be predisposed to committing that sort of crime or covertly infiltrating the world of such criminals for the final take down.
  
  Apart from these, the ordinary citizen plays a vital role in these fights. You living in the Western world know the immense role of 911 whereby a member of the public will alert the law enforcement agencies on suspicion of something amiss. You will be familiar with officers from the DEA pretending to buy drugs to effect arrests or female officers from the vice squad pretending to be prostitutes or males pretending to be in need of the service of prostitutes, to nab men who seek the favours of real prostitutes prostitutes, or to nab the prostitutes.
  
  The President of any country is like the Chief Executive Officer of a corporate body, there to give strategic leadership. The day to day nitty gritties that keep the institution going come from the policies as well as the activities of members of staff.
  
  The perpetrators of the fraudulent acts are not living in an enclave of their own but surprisingly are amongst us or are our friends, relatives, lovers etc and if we surely want to help in the fight against the scourge of corruption, we should out them by informing the authorities when such offences are committed. On the other hand, we can continue to uphold the sterling Ghanaian trait of reducing everything into a political equation and lambaste President Mahama because we hate him. We shall not be the first. President Obama is hated by a cross-section in America just because he is Black and anything he moots is received with derision.

  There we go again! Adofo, the one-sighted contributor on the forum!
  
  I hate playing the blame game of the two most USELESS parties in NPP and NDC but, I must ask why Adofo did not question Kuffour for his CORRUPT regime? They were as equally CORRUPT and still are, as the NDC government of Mahama.
  
  You as a Ghanaian are as CORRUPT as your party and should be asking GHANAIANS.....led by you to help fight CORRUPTION! Not sit in your ivory tower abroad and tell Ghanaians who should do this or that, in our nation. Whilst your own CORRUPT lot have NOTHING to offer our dear nation!
  
  Please stop wasting your time writing rubbish as usual and help with the fight against CORRUPTION......both in the NPP and NDC!
  
  GOD BLESS GHANA!
  AFRICAN FOREVER!

  When it comes to corruption, Kufour said corruption is part of the human race. To defeat corruption is to defeat the human race. Corruption has been with the human race since Adam.

  The 'ignorant fool', the intellectually lazy quadruplet should know the population of Ghana. Therefore the crusade to fight corruption cannot be tackled by President Mahama alone. It requires the commitment of all Ghanaians at home and all corners of the world. The pointing finger and the blame mentality of Adofo is on believable. Why makes Adofo to think that corruption in Ghana is a problem for Mahama's alone? What a shame, people with this kind of defeatist and negative attitude like Adofo and co want to rule Ghana. Lord have mercy!!!!!!!.
