Professor Ken Attafuah of the Central University College’s William Ofori-Atta Institute of Integrity has urged Ghanaians to insist on integrity as a national value.
He said that a firmly entrenched anti-corruption culture would ensure a better return on development efforts.
Furthermore, he said, Ghana would develop much more quickly if Ghanaians respected those who do the right thing, voted for politicians according to merit, and were more honest in their dealings with one another.
When individuals pursue wealth or power improperly, he warned, they are bound to face ruin eventually, and these corrupt, powerful players rarely enjoy the reverence of ordinary people.
Appearing on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show Monday, Prof. Attafuah acknowledged that Ghana has a long way to go before it broadly embraces integrity as a core value and that today, those who reject it often enjoy riches while those who abide by it suffer.
