The Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII) is making a strong case for citizens to lead the fight against corruption to achieve the desired results as a country. The Fund Raising Manager of GII, Michael Boadi said it was time to depart from the top-down approach to fighting corruption, which has over the years yielded little results and rather build the capacity of citizens to appreciate the devastating effects of corruption. This way, they could hold political establishments accountable while educating their peers and communities to change from behaviours that contributed to corruption. He was speaking at a two-day anti-corruption workshop put together by GII in collaboration with the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) at Juaso in the Asante-Akim South Municipality. In attendance were representatives of local civil society organisations, community-based organisations, social auditing clubs, women-based associations, youth groups and persons with disability.
