Former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana has asserted that a significant number of Ghanaians lack genuine dedication to combating corruption.

Rev. Dr Kwabena Opuni Frimpong contends that corruption extends beyond government officials, permeating various sectors of society.

He highlighted that a substantial sum of money remains unaccounted for, including funds in the form of loans that will burden future generations with repayment obligations.

"We shouldn’t be a nation that creates problems today that our children should come and solve tomorrow,” he said on Tuesday, January 9, 2024.

In an interview, Rev. Dr. Opuni Frimpong pointed out that government officials and other authorities protect each other, rather than holding each other accountable which is a challenge in the fight against corruption.

According to him, the fight against corruption must begin at the grassroots level which will eradicate corruption in Ghana.

“We need leaders who will say I appointed you, but you have disgraced us, you have disgraced the nation. You don’t qualify to be here. The next morning pack and leave. I don’t think I have that impression as a Ghanaian. Maybe, I’m not seeing right because of the lens I am wearing but Ghana as a nation, as I see it, we are not serious with the corruption fight.”
