CORRUPTION AND KUFFOURS LEGACY

I have always favor diplomacy over immediate radicalism and solution over problems. Yet our country Ghana, is surrounded by national leaders who are steeped in corruption and all the devils known in the history of politics.

According to the Myjoyonline.com, from 2003-2008 the NPP administration set up or attempted there on to set up a department for monitoring and evaluating government policies with over $10 million as it's seed money funded by the UNDP and DFID.

Head of Policy, Monitoring and Evaluation team at the presidency, Dr Tony Aidoo has said that contrary to popular view Kuffour and his cohort of ministers misapplied the money and only wounded up with feasibility studies with a whooping 10 million US DOLLARS .

According to Dr. Tony Aidoo, “...Apart from feasibility studies that were carried out I came to find that the whole output of the unit did not even contain a baseline databank".

This revelation may not be the beginning marking an end to a perpetual penchant for corruption by our national leaders.

Like fellow citizens of this noble country, i have move beyond "mounding my hopes" on any political party and in any individual who profess spirited and high ideals only to end up calling Ghanaians, "lazy people".

I am convinced that, the Mills-led-regenerated-NDC-administration cannot be absolve from this, "achievement eater", with the likes of Muntaka and the sports saga among others.

However, i am cautiously optimistic that victory in 2012 will be the portion of the larger masses (poor men and women) who have to scratch their butt before making ends meet.
