The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), \u00a0has suggested to government to invest in the fight against corruption by providing adequate funding to anti-corruption agencies, and supporting their activities.<\/p>\n
Deputy Commissioner of CHRAJ, Mr Richard Quayson\u00a0said over the years, Ghana has made some progress in the fight against corruption, but government’s support to anti-corruption agencies in the effort to eliminate corruption or reduce it to the barest minimum.<\/p>\n
He observed that corruption has a ravaging effect on society, and the price the nation pays is enormous.<\/p>\n
Mr Quayson made the appeal in an interview with the Ghana News Agency on the sideline of the on-going Fourth Commonwealth Regional Conference for Heads of Anti-Corruption Agencies in Africa.<\/p>\n
He said \u201cit is our duty as a nation to show to the rest of the world that we can manage our own affairs when it comes to the issue of fighting corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Deputy Commissioner urged government to ensure that Parliament passes the National Anti-corruption Action Plan into law, which was drafted by the Commission in collaboration with the Office of the President, Parliament and the Economic and Organized Crime Office.<\/p>\n
He regretted that the bill has been in Parliament over the past three years.<\/p>\n
Mr Quayson said the on-going conference would enable them share experience in their struggle against corruption and also equip them for the task ahead.<\/p>\n
