Speaking on JoyFM’s Ghana Connect Friday on whether or not Ghanaians are inherently corrupt, Manasseh who has uncovered massive corruption in successive governments, maintains that most Ghanaians are not inherently corrupt but, are victims of corruption because the system rewards corruption and punishes those who try to avoid it.

“…you find people who ordinarily will not be corrupt, but they are forced to. So generally I don’t agree that Ghanaians in general are corrupt. Maybe a percentage of us may be corrupt, but not all of us. And that percentage for me is even minute,” Manasseh argued.

Other panelists however disagreed, stressing that Ghanaians are inherently and will promptly engage in corruption at the least opportunity.

Ghana has had countless stories of corruption scandals since it gained independence in 1957, with each regime recording its own set of scandals.

Recent reports of alleged corruption at the Public Procurement Authority( PPA) involving its Chief Executive Officer( CEO), Adjei Boateng Adjei  has sparked discussions on whether or not Ghanaians are by nature corrupt.

A documentary by  Manasseh  titled “Contracts for Sale” premiered last Wednesday captured the PPA Boss’ own company under the name Talent Discovery Limited incorporated in June 2017 which has won a number of government contracts through restrictive tendering.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
