EAGLE EYE GHANAIANS?

Subscribe in a reader

We must as a nation congratulate ourselves for creating a perception among at least some politicians that we will not tolerate sleaze among those who keep our purse. According to the former Chief of Staff and the Head of the Planning Committee of the defunct Ghana@50 he advised the former Chief Executive of the same org to be cautious with some aspects of the work because Ghanaians will be suspicious of any unusual actions of people in Power. Mr. Mpaini was giving evidence on the mismanagement of funds allocated to the celebration of the Ghana @50.According to Mr. Mpaini he warned Dr. Wereko Brobby to be very careful when the latter decided to loan the Ghana@50 Commission with 200,000 Ghana Cedis towards the celebration when the funds were not forthcoming from Government If this is the case and they do fear such finger pointing then that should mean more Government officials should be scrupulous in their dealings.And if most Ghanaians demand accountability from their officials then this should lead to more accountability. Mr. Mpainin in a negative tone berated Ghanaians for being too suspicious of Public officers and "have a pull-him-down attitude". If this was the case and yet they still managed to steel the staggering amount of money we occasionally hear about. MORE POWER TO GHANAIANS IF THAT IS WHAT THEY WILL DO TO SAFEGUARD OUR SMALL KITTY.
