Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, Member of Parliament for Korle Klottey, has reiterated her commitment to combating corruption in Ghana’s democracy.
Speaking at the National Democratic Congress (NDC) campaign launch in Tamale, Northern Region, on Saturday, July 27, 2024, Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings emphasized that corruption poses the biggest threat to the country’s democratic system.
“The biggest threat to our democracy is corruption,” she stated. “It is not what you are seeing happening around us in other countries, it is corruption.”
Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings also criticized the current government’s handling of corruption, saying, “This is the corruption that has been presided over by this NPP government.”
She pledged to uphold a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, saying, “But today, what we have to do is to promise one another and to promise John Mahama that we will set the bar high when it comes to zero tolerance with respect to corruption.”
