Programmes Manager of the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII), Mary Awelana Addah has insisted that both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC) have failed in tackling corruption despite their political promises.
Speaking in an interview she said, “there is no difference between the NDC and NPP when it comes to corruption. The two parties have failed to address corruption. You cannot use one [party] scoring high marks on the Corruption Perception Index as a basis to say one party is doing well than the other.”
She added, “and you can see that for those scores, we never make it more than 30 or 33. We have an issue.”
Mrs Addah quizzed, “are we ensuring that fairness prevails in tendering? Are we as a country ensuring that those who are trying to flout rules and regulations are dealt with appropriately?”
“So the country is seen to be engaging in certain tendencies and the perception, and that government at a particular time seems to be engaging in these tendencies,” she bemoaned.
