President Nana Akufo-Addo has reaffirmed his government's unwavering dedication to combating corruption in Ghana.

He asserted that his administration has undertaken some of the most audacious initiatives since the nation gained independence nearly 66 years ago.

According to him, these initiatives aim to revamp and fortify the various institutions in the country by equipping them to effectively confront corruption within the public sector.

President Akufo-Addo made this declaration in his speech at the 2023 Bar Conference of the Ghana Bar Association in Cape Coast, Central Region, on Monday, September 11.

The conference's theme centered on "Ensuring High Standards and Integrity in Public Life; The Role of the Legal Profession."

The President emphasised that his government's anti-corruption efforts extend beyond mere rhetoric.

“My government has fought and is fighting corruption not just in high-sounding words, but, actually, in concrete deeds.”

“We have shunned mere exhortations and showy denunciations of unproved corruption. It has been a holistic approach. We have made institutional reforms, we have enacted additional, requisite laws, and we have resourced more adequately the accountability organs of state,” he stated.

President Akufo-Addo underscores that his fight against corruption rests on legislative, financial, and institutional measures, not mere lip-service.
