In Ghana, one of the highly revered Chiefs, the Agbogbomefia of Asogli State, Torgbe Afede XIV says corrupt officials are like termites at the woodwork eating the very foundations of Ghana’s democracy.
He argued that, corruption and its effects, must be taught in schools so children will know the right thing to do instead of thinking it is normal.
He made the comments during an Anti-Corruption forum held at the Asogli Palace as part of his 20th anniversary celebration as King of Asogli state and the celebration of the annual Yam Festival.
Togbe said, corruption is very bad for the development of any nation that strives for growth and development and it is exhausting and worrying to see public officials depriving the country of the funds needed for development by keeping it for themselves.
He lamented how corruption is becoming the culture of the nation and a situation that must be dealt with or will destroy everything the country holds paramount.
According to him, “We must all commit to the fight against corruption to help Ghana become a better place to be,”. And poverty in Ghana is a paradox in view of the nation’s enormous resource endowment.
He further stated that, “We look like people standing in the middle of the river yet thirsty and being beaten by the rain while we held the umbrella down,”.
