Mr. Alban Bagbin, the Majority Leader in Parliament, has said Ghanaians have too much tolerance for corruption, hence, the lack of moral courage to fight the canker.
This attitude of the citizenry towards corruption, he said, was part of the reason why it had become difficult to fully fight to eliminate or reduce corruption to the barest minimum to propel the country’s development agenda.
Mr. Bagbin made the observation on Thursday while delivering a Lecture on the theme: “Corruption and National Development” organised by the Faculty of Integrated Development Studies (FIDS) of the University for Development Studies (UDS), Wa Campus.
Mr. Bagbin who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Nadowli-Kaleo, said the continued focus on political corruption was one of the reasons why the country could not fight corruption the way it ought to fight to reduce or eliminate it.
“We cannot fight corruption if citizens continue to think that corruption is only among some class of people and not among everybody”, he said.
