The Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has said that collective will on the part of all stakeholders is required to address the issue of corruption in the country.
Without collective will, he said, the laws will not be enough to address the issue.
Speaking at the Constitution Day Public Lecture on Friday, he said "The laws are just not enough, it is our collective will and in the process, as citizens, we must never ever give up because giving up will lead us to a failed state, that cannot help us as a nation." The Effutu Lawmaker added, "Let us continue to crack the whip, let us continue to be hard on the political class but at the same time other actors in that chain of corruption because if you leave the other actors and over-focus on the political class dealing with the canker will still remain a big headache on our heads as a country." For his part, the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng lamented how people are unwilling to submit to the wheels of justice yet everybody turns to frow upon corrupt act. "Though we accept that we need to rein in corruption, no one wants to yield freely to scrutiny.
No one happily accedes to indictment.
