\"\"<\/a>Madam Florence Dennis, a Working Group Member of the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NACAP), has said there was the need for political parties to publish their accounts as demanded by law.<\/p>\n

She said this would enhance transparency and guard against the use of government resources for political activities by incumbent parties.<\/p>\n

Madam Dennis said this in Ho at a regional consultative workshop on the development of Ghana\u2019s National Anti-Corruption Action Plan.<\/p>\n

The workshop was organized by the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).<\/p>\n

Madam Dennis said a survey conducted by Transparency International in 2009 showed that 31 per cent of Ghanaians considered political parties as extremely corrupt and said it was time political parties cleared these perceptions.<\/p>\n

Mr Joseph Whittal, Director, Legal and Investigations at CHRAJ, said political and social factors had weakened efforts at combating corruption in political activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are faced with situations where people want to win and stay in power, so they willingly pay for support, buy votes, rig elections and abuse incumbency,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also faced with challenges with entrenched social relations and networks of patrons and clients found in political parties and government institutions, who put undue pressure on our political leaders to engage in corrupt practices,\u201d Mr Whittal added.<\/p>\n

He said the growing phenomenon of payment of high filing fees by aspirants to political parties was deepening the country\u2019s corruption woes.<\/p>\n

Mr Whittal said the demand by political parties for political appointees to make financial contributions to party coffers was also shattering the country\u2019s hope of ending political corruption and called on politicians to demonstrate strong political will to help curb corruption in the country.<\/p>\n
