Panelists
on GBC’s Garden City Radio Super Morning Flight have emphasized the need
for all Ghanaians to actualize the regular rhetoric of avoiding corrupt
practices by desisting from the act in all their engagements.
According to the
Head Pastor of the Oforikrom Society of the Methodist Church, Ghana, Reverend Kingsley
Sarfo Kwarteng, church leaders can only advise against the act of corruption
based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, but the greater responsibility lies
with the individual to be self-disciplined and exude integrity in their
endeavors.
He maintained that corruption is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa due
to poverty and the need for people to survive by all means. Rev. Kwarteng
therefore urged leaders especially those serving in various positions of trust
in the country to lead the fight against the canker.
Ameer Shaibu Abdul Malik
of the Muslim Mobile Preachers Association for his part reminded Muslims to
live by the principles of Islam which frowns on corruption, adding that it has
negative consequences on the economic development of the country.
