A founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has cautioned that Ghana risks a mass revolt if entrenched corruption within both political and judicial systems is not addressed.
He accused successive governments since independence of perpetuating corruption, describing it as a national cancer that permeates all levels of leadership, including the youth entering politics.
Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe lamented the country's slow progress despite gaining independence over six decades ago, drawing comparisons with Malaysia, which he said started on a similar footing with Ghana, but has far outpaced the West African nation in development.
He was speaking at the West Africa International Press Limited (WAIPL)'s 2025 Eminent Africans Global Integrity Conference and Awards in Accra on Wednesday, aimed at serving as a platform to uplift voices that challenge injustice, influence public discourse, and foster inclusive development.
