Nana Yaw Sarpong, Political Aide to the leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen, has challenged NDC General Secretary Fifi Kwetey to go a step further in the fight against corruption by naming and shaming individuals involved in corrupt practices.
Speaking on Morning Target on Bullet TV, hosted by Nana Kweku Aduah, Sarpong expressed concern over what he described as a potentially worrying trend in Ghana’s anti-corruption approach—plea bargains without consequences.
“Maybe Fifi should have just mentioned two or three names,” Sarpong stated, “for us to shame them. We are talking about millions of Ghana cedis that have gone down the drain into individual pockets. We can’t continue to encourage wrongdoing.”
The aide emphasized that while Ghanaian culture encourages seeking forgiveness through elders or societal figures, such traditions should not be extended to high-level economic crimes and public sector corruption.
“Yes, it’s part of our culture to appeal to elders when someone goes wrong, but when we apply that same logic to public corruption, we’re simply enabling impunity,” – he warned.
