The Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC) has organised a stakeholders meeting to discuss ways to intensify efforts against corruption in the country.  

The meeting, held at Sefwi-Bodi in the Western North Region, brought together representatives from government agencies, civil society groups, and other relevant stakeholders. 

It was aimed at promoting transparency and accountability among institutions. 

Ms Pamela Laourou, the Assistant Communication Officer of GACC, underscored the need for a collective action to combat corruption in the country. 

She said corruption was a canker that undermined the development of the nation and called for joint efforts to root it out of the country. 

She further called on stakeholders to strengthen institutions to enhance citizens’ participation while leveraging technology to fight corruption.

The District Director for the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) said there was a need to establish a task force to support policy reform, noting that it was a crucial step towards a corruption-free Ghana. 

Participants at the event took turns to pledge to work together to tackle corruption and promote a culture of integrity among institutions in the country.
