Dr Akwasi Opong-Fosu, Chairperson of the Africa Global Emergence Centre, has stated that corruption is not destiny, it is a decision that is repeated, tolerated, and reinforced.
He contrasted this with integrity, which he described as a decision that is principled, courageous, and consistent.
Dr Opong-Fosu made these remarks at the Anti-Corruption Roundtable Forum, co-hosted by the Global Chamber of Commerce and the Sonoco International Business Department of the University of South Carolina.
The forum, held under the theme "Towards a New Anti-Corruption Agenda: Lessons from Diverse Stakeholders in Africa and the West," brought together African and Western leaders from the public and private sectors, civil society, and academia.
