Those Accused of Corruption Are the Same People Expected to Fight It – Kofi Abotsi

The Dean of the Law School at the University of Professional Studies Accra (UPSA), Professor Kofi Abotsi, has noted that corruption has become a chronic problem in Ghana because the people expected to deal with it are themselves culprits.

He described this situation as unfortunate since it disturbs the fight against the menace.

Speaking at an anti-corruption forum in Accra on Thursday November 18, he said “Corruption remains a canker. Unfortunately, the people who have the power to change corruption, these are the same people who are currently the biggest participants in corruption.

“If the reformers are the culprits , we have a problem. The reason why corruption conversation doesn’t seem to make any importance in Ghana is because the people who are often accused as being guilty of corruption are the same people we are looking up to for change.”
