And, in this case, the most important in any city is sanitation,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an eye-opener for me. It is about what is possible, about what collaboration can do, and what is possible, with encouragement and proper policy framework, if we have confidence in Ghanaian entrepreneurs. Ghanaian entrepreneurs have to be at the forefront of the social and economic transformation of the country. This sort of facility, seeing it work in detail, is extremely encouraging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But anti-corruption crusaders took issues with him, especially when endless scandals had caked around the man, including millions of contracts in waste management which have not been implemented. Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Marfo at an anti-corruption event on Monday questioned the merit of the President\u2019s commendation, insisting it was not the right thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Joy Fm\u2019s Super Morning Show, Mr. Short, who remains one of the country\u2019s anti-corruption voices, said the attitude of the president does not encourage hope in the fight against corruption. He said it has been more than ten months since the government came to power and it is about time he started walking the talk instead of always promising without anything to show for it.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 55 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/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>General News of Wednesday, 6 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-06 Former Commissioner of CHRAJ, Emile Short Former head of the Commission of Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), Emilie Short, has called on the government to end the long talk and deal with corrupt persons in the country because eleven months is such a long [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":398874,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-444262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Enough of the rhetorics;
