Director of Communications for the Movement for Change, Courage Nobi, has expressed the belief that Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen is the most suitable leader for Ghana to effectively combat corruption.
Mr Nobi contends that both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have fallen short in addressing corruption during their respective tenures in power.
According to Nobi, corruption has been a persistent issue during the years of governance by both major political parties. He sees Alan Kyerematen as the ideal leader to tackle this problem and bring about positive change in the country.
“We cannot force ourselves to choose between the NPP and NDC because neither of them is providing Ghanaians with a choice in 2024. There is no difference between the two parties when you look at them, and that is why going forward in 2024 and beyond, the fight against corruption cannot be won by these two political parties but by a leader who has a track record of integrity and that is Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen.”
Courage Nobi emphasized that corruption is pervasive under the current government, and he projected that it could worsen in 2024.
He called on political leaders to take responsibility for combating corruption by setting examples through their own actions and conduct.
“The frustration is that you don’t finish discussing one scandal before another pops up, and that tells you how endemic corruption is, and I am afraid of how we will be swamped by scandals next year.
“You cannot fight corruption with the mere passage of laws, guidelines, and action plans. The best and easiest way to fight corruption is to be an example, be incorruptible, don’t participate, and make sure your family and friends do not participate and when you can deal with that, then you can deal with those who even attempt to be corrupt.”
