The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has condemned the widespread corruption engulfing Ghana.
In a recent interview with Citi FM on Sunday, June 2, the King expressed dismay at the opulent lifestyles of the political elite, funded by public funds, while ordinary citizens grapple with poverty.
Highlighting the stark contrast between politicians’ luxuries and rural communities’ lack of basic amenities, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II lamented the disparity.
He questioned the source of funds for expensive vehicles owned by politicians, contrasting it with the struggle to provide basic necessities like desks in classrooms.
The King emphasized the detrimental effects of misplaced priorities, particularly on the youth, urging immediate government action against corruption.
He stressed the urgency of addressing corruption for the citizens’ welfare, warning of potential consequences if left unchecked.
“Corruption is everywhere. I believe that the government must find a way to stamp its authority on corruption,” he urged.
