I like where he asks why Ghana has to budget for money raised by European tax payers
It needs bold steps and measures to ensure that the rule of law is followed to the letter and our culture of short cuts is done away with. Am sure many of us never blink twice when the opportunity to take or give a bribe arises, your only thoughts are how to further your course, but we fail to appreciate what that action really does to the bigger picture. I don't think it's the same thing as saying you got a break, you broke the law.
Corruption and misuse of public funds is our biggest culprit in a nation where more than half the population lives below the poverty line I think hard questions should be asked and answers demanded. The only way we could really get involved is to know what is happening in the county and national level and to question everything.
Access to public data and a means to question everything that is done "on our behalf" could help eradicate wastage and add accountability.
