The illegal behaviour by officials or people in powerful position, who accept monies and gifts in exchange of doing things for other; is almost becoming a widespread way of life across the length and breath of Ghana.
Corruption, the infectious greed disease has quickly settled amongst the Ghanaian people. A disease well known to affect a few ungodly powerful rich people is now fast reaching out to the very ones that highly spoke against it. Corruption is a universal social phenomenon with which every society has struggled with throughout human history, but the rate at which Ghanaians are losing the war against this self-inflicting disease is so alarming.
Corruption is no longer a cultural practice only by a few but almost everybody in the Ghanaian setting, the leadership seems not to be interested in putting in place any preventive measures to stop the spread of this dangerous unpatriotic way of life.
The use of public office for personal gains, taking bribes from others for works that have already been paid for, is just not acceptable. Some people get double salaries for the same work, rubbing others from their daily bread. Citizens have to contend with the principle of, few people having too much and a few for the huge poor people.
Bad leaders have gradually unknowingly passed into bill the implementation of corruption. Almost everybody to want to find their way around things by paying something. From people seeking public office where candidate pay huge sums of money to voters for their votes to the ordinary men on the streets, who will just pay anything to authorities for an opportunity to secure a job.
The earlier Ghanaian find an antidote to the trending disease, the better it will be for the development of these peaceful people.
A people who seek nothing but a fair share of the national cake are being overpushed to the limit they can not longer tolerate. The time have come for good leadership principles to be enforced and to find a proper way of tackling corruption.
