Following his recent remarks on TV3 regarding how Singapore and Ethiopia have enacted special laws to combat corruption, anti-corruption advocate Ebo Buckman granted an exclusive interview to elaborate on his position.
He emphasised that Ghana must take decisive steps to treat corruption as a special offense by introducing stringent laws tailored to deal with the menace.
Buckman highlighted Singapore's Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA), which places the burden of proof on the accused in corruption cases.
This means that when an individual is suspected of corruption, they must prove their innocence rather than the prosecution having to prove guilt. "This approach has helped Singapore keep corruption at extremely low levels, ensuring accountability in both the public and private sectors," he explained.
