Fifi Kwetey blames self-seeking behaviour for wrongdoing across political parties
NDC General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey says self-seeking behaviour drives wrongdoing across political parties, as people pursue personal gain regardless of their political colours.
NDC General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey has accused self-seeking behaviour for corruption across political parties, stating that individuals pursue personal gain regardless of their political affiliations. During an interview on Joy News' PM Express, Kwetey argued that changing governments would not automatically eradicate misconduct; the real test lies in how leaders respond when wrongdoing is exposed.
He observed that people are constantly thinking about what they can gain, where they can cut corners, and this applies irrespective of the party involved.
Responding to allegations of a World Cup visa scandal involving the National Sports Authority, Kwetey claimed he had never expected the NDC government to complete its term without encountering problems. He insisted that the distinction between governments should be their willingness to confront misconduct. Kwetey accused the NPP of shielding government wrongdoing, alleging that the former administration covered up and defended scandals rather than addressing them.
He promised a different approach under the NDC, stating that if misconduct occurs, they will deal with those responsible.
Kwetey emphasized that party membership does not guarantee that individuals uphold the values they claim to possess, as humans are not angels. He insisted that accountability must extend to officials at every level, including ministers and chief executives, and that the party's interests would not be sacrificed to protect individuals.
