Judiciary urged to expedite corruption cases
Manasseh Azure Awuni, an investigative journalist and anti-corruption campaigner, has called on the judiciary to prioritise and expedite corruption cases.
Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has urged the judiciary to prioritize and accelerate corruption cases, warning against the exploitation of legal loopholes by those accused of public theft. Speaking at the Asogli State’s Choral and Anti-corruption Day Celebration, Awuni challenged the judiciary to eliminate corruption and called on traditional leaders to refrain from defending corrupt officials.
He highlighted that while advanced nations have effectively combated corruption through stringent enforcement, Africa continues to suffer from unchecked malpractice. Awuni commended Togbe Afede XIV for institutionalizing the anti-corruption day and urged Ghanaians to join the fight against corruption, noting that individuals raised in integrity-focused families are more likely to serve the public honestly.
Togbe Afede XIV agreed that corruption was the greatest barrier to Ghana's socio-economic development and vowed to continue the anti-corruption campaign. Economic and Organized Crime Office Board Chairman Daniel Domelevo emphasized that no country could achieve sustained progress without addressing corruption.
