They (corrupt officials) are degrading our capacity to control our own development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo the extent that God gives me health and strength, I am going to do my best to make sure that the fight against corruption is won,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>And this fight, the NPP Legislator said must be waged continuously as the country is losing a great amount of its resources to corrupt public officers. He added that corruption is fast eroding the dignity politicians have in the country and hence the intensification of the fight is very necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The sad aspect of it, he said, was that political parties are now fighting on which of the parties have more corrupt members than the other or engaged in scandals than the other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPoliticians are now competing on which party is more corrupt than the other\u2026interestingly, the corrupt officials are either Christians or Muslims, but they must all be prosecuted even if it would go beyond the Mahama regime\u2026,\u201d he recommended.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Member of Parliament (MP) for Atebubu Amantin in the Brong Ahafo Region has lamented over the fast rate at which politicians in the country are losing their dignities before the populace.
