, Founding President and CEO of IMANI has expressed disappointment over the lack of focus on corruption drivers within the manifestos of political parties contesting the upcoming December elections.
Speaking at an event at the Kempinski in Accra on Thursday, November 14, 2024, on the topic "Elections and Anti-Corruption: What is the Next Government's Agenda?" noted that political parties' approaches to addressing corruption are often vague and insufficiently targeted.
According to him, the manifestos fail to tackle the root causes of corruption in Ghana, focusing instead on building anti-corruption systems, which, he argued, often fall short of delivering meaningful results. "Most of the manifestos we've seen are vague on corruption.
None of them critically address the drivers of corruption in Ghana, and that is sad.
