One of Ghana\u2019s recognized academicians; Professor Stephen Adei, has alleged that at least eight out of ten politicians in Ghana are thieves.<\/p>\n
The immediate past Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) described the \u2018honorable\u2019 men and women representing the citizenry in the legislature as \u201cglorified thieves\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt least 8 in 10 politicians in Ghana are glorified thieves although almost every need of theirs is met by the state; we have to stop it\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”EycD6abcgLBdjFd3MmIgnVQSk3KC3dKH”]The plain-speaking professor, who was addressing the 40th anniversary of the SAPS School in Accra, also alleged that most members of parliament use their roles on parliamentary select committees to receive bribes before approving projects and policies.<\/p>\n
According to him, some appallingly go to the extent of demanding additional bribes<\/a><\/strong><\/span> that will cater for their girlfriends.<\/p>\n \u201cThe other day somebody asked me a question and I was so shocked. The person asked whether I gave bribe to Parliament for them to pass GIMPA\u2019s law. Not knowing that now if you want parliament to pass anything else, not only do you bribe the committee, but after they have gotten their share, they ask you where is our last top? In other words; you haven\u2019t made provision for our girlfriends\u201d.<\/p>\n
